Siberian wallflowers are a type of flower that originates from Europe and is known for its bright orange colour and fragrant scent. They are a popular choice for gardens due to their attractive appearance and ability to attract birds, bees, and butterflies.
Biennial plants that can grow as perennials in warmer climates. They have a height of 10-18 inches and produce clusters of bright orange flowers above a canopy of evergreen foliage.
Siberian wallflowers prefer cooler temperatures and full sun to partial shade. They can tolerate dry soil once established, but they do not endure humidity. They can be planted in the spring or fall, and they do well when started indoors or in a greenhouse before being transplanted.
To plant Siberian wallflowers, sow the seeds directly onto the soil in late fall or early spring, pressing them down but not covering them with soil. The seeds can be spread evenly on loosened soil, and the plants should be spaced 9-12 inches apart.
They make a great addition to wildflower gardens and meadows, and can also be used as a border plant or in containers. They are attractive to birds, bees, and butterflies, making them a good choice for pollinator gardens.
The plant produces long, thin seed pods that change from green to yellow to brown. The mature seeds will be dark orange or rust. Since the pods split and release their seeds when fully ripe, harvest them promptly to prevent loss. Remove the pods individually when they turn light brown and spread them out to dry. Once dried, separate the seeds from the pods and store them in a cool, dry place.
