Title: Erysimum ?
Post by: shelagh on June 11, 2017, 02:52:51 PM

Can anyone please remind me which Erysimum has spherical seed heads going up the  stalk on opposite sides alternately?  Including seedheads its about 8-12 inches.  The rosette is only about 2 inches high.

Allysoides.  A common imposter of Erysium capitatum in the seed exes.  Many years ago, I had the same problem that vexed me for many months.  A nice plant, though. :)
