{{Inc| Wallflower. The vernacular name of Cheiranthus Cheiri, which see. A favorite spring bloom in Great Britain, and sometimes secured as early as Christmas; in this country it is little known, probably because of climatic reasons. The wallflower is a perennial, blooming profusely the second year, but needing to be renewed frequently. The compact forms grow only 1 foot or 18 inches high, but some kinds are taller than this. There are single-flowered and double-flowered kinds, and colors in yellow, orange, blood-red, maroon-red, yellow-brown, light brown, ruby-purple, pink. The yellows are most commonly seen in English gardens, and make a most attractive show about cottages in early spring. The double kinds are propagated by cuttings taken in spring, and they make good blooming plants the following spring if not allowed to become stunted; double wallflowers are also grown from carefully selected seeds. The seeds of wallflowers may be sown in spring and plants are kept in vigorous condition until protected for the winter; they are transplanted when young into permanent beds. If seeds are started in late winter, bloom may be had in the following holidays, in a climate mild enough to carry them. }} ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
