Description
Erysimum 'Colour Vibe Red' is a perennial wallflower which is remarkable for its large flowers with a very bright, stable red colour. This plant forms a pretty clump with silvery-green foliage and remains very attractive throughout the season. Fragrant, easy to grow, and hardy down to -7°C, it enlivens pots and borders from March to June. It is not difficult to grow in well-drained soil, even poor and rather dry.
Erysimum 'Colour Vibe Red' (Cdcery1) PP 36 239) belongs to the Brassicaceae family, like all wallflowers. It comes from the species Erysimum cheiri (formerly known as Cheiranthus cheiri), native to south-eastern Europe, particularly the rocky Mediterranean areas, and commonly called 'wallflower'. This cultivar is part of the Colour Vibe series, the result of a breeding programme by British breeder Charles Carr, whose aim was to create varieties with vibrant, fade-resistant colours that are easy to care for and suitable for small spaces.
'Colour Vibe Red' is upright, bushy and compact: in the ground it reaches about 50–60 cm in both height and spread. Its life cycle is that of a herbaceous perennial often behaving as a biennial, as it tends to become sparse after two to three years; however, in well-drained soil and a mild climate, it can flower for several seasons. The dense evergreen foliage is composed of narrow, lanceolate, dark green leaves that remain attractive all year round. Flowering begins in spring (around March) and continues into summer. It consists of clusters of large, velvety, vermilion-red flowers that do not change colour. The nectar-rich flowers are fragrant and attract bees and pollinators. This variety was selected at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2023 for its ornamental and horticultural potential.
Erysimum 'Colour Vibe Red' is perfect for creating dynamic scenes from early spring. It looks superb at the front of a border, in a small rock garden, in a pot on a terrace, on a balcony or near an entrance. It associates easily with spring bulbs with white or pale yellow flowers, such as daffodil 'Ice Follies' or tulip 'Sweetheart', for a vivid, luminous contrast. It also highlights perennials with silver or blue-grey foliage, such as Stachys 'Big Ears' or snow-in-summer. For a tonal harmony, it can be combined with deep red pansies, purple heucheras such as 'Cherry Cola' or even red primroses.

Planting and care
Erysimum 'Colour Vibe Red' can be planted in containers and window boxes or directly in open ground in well-drained, finely prepared and enriched soil. If possible, plant upon receipt. If the intended location is not yet ready or conditions are not favourable for planting (heavy rain or soil too dry), you can let them grow on in pots for a few weeks. At planting or shortly after, you can pinch out the tip of the young plant between thumb and forefinger to remove the terminal bud and encourage branching. This operation can be repeated until mid-October to obtain denser bushes.
In containers and window boxes, use a good well-draining compost for flowering plants (for example with plenty of bark or perlite) enriched with slow-release fertiliser. The top of the root ball should be level with the compost. Water generously at planting and for the following weeks. Be careful not to overwater! Make sure to use containers with drainage holes and empty the saucer 10 minutes after watering. Remember to water even in winter if it doesn't rain or if the container is placed in a location sheltered from rainfall. Do not water during frosty periods.
From 3 weeks after planting and until after flowering, apply a liquid fertiliser for flowering plants once or twice a week with the watering water, even in winter (as long as watering is necessary). The faded flower spikes can be cut off with scissors to keep the plant looking neat, but this is not essential; flowering continues anyway as long as the plant does not lack water. Once flowering is finished, plants in containers can be replanted in the garden in full sun after being cut back by about 5 cm.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
