English Wallflower is native to Europe but it is common as an introduced
garden species. This is a biennial or perennial herb with one or more
highly branching stems reaching heights of 15-80 cm. The leaves are
generally narrow and pointed, up to 20 cm long. The top of the stem is
occupied by a club-shaped inflorescence of flowers. Each flower has
purplish-green sepals and rounded petals which are 2-3 cm long and in
shades of bright yellows to reds and purples. The flowers fall away to
leave long fruits which are narrow, hairy, several centimeters in length.
