What Is a Siberian Wallflower?
A Siberian wallflower is a wildflower plant with orange flowers, nicknamed “apricot delight” due to its color. It’s considered a biennial, but can be planted as a perennial as well. It is native to the cold climates of northern Europe, but is cultivated for garden use in a large area of the world. The Siberian wallflower has a variety of uses in the garden and is relatively easy to grow. The Siberian wallflower usually will grow to a height of about 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) and will spread out to a maximum width of approximately 32 inches (80 cm). It has tall sturdy stems that often branch out in a few directions and have a slightly woody texture. The evergreen leaves are narrow and long with a vivid green color, and they typically grow in pairs all along the stem. The small simple flowers bloom in clusters at the tops of the stems, and are light-to-medium orange in color. The flowers have a light, pleasant fragrance and usually bloom in the spring and summer.
