Wallflower
Cherranthus cheiri

Cruciferaceae - Mustard Family
Common names: Handflower, Gillyflower, Beeflower

Wallflower is a sweet-smelling plant that was well-known and enjoyed during the Middle Ages. It was used medicinally as a nervine, muscle relaxant and emmenagogue. However, nowadays, thanks to science, we know that it contains a substance that is toxic in large doses and can cause heart failure.

Description: Wallflower is a tender perennial plant that grows from 8"-24" in height, with fragrant yellow-orange flowers blooming from April to August.

Habitat: Although it grows in rocky places and along walls and cliffs, it also does well in fertile, well-drained soil. It prefers full sun.

Range: Native to southern Europe.
