Conservation Scheme information for Erysimum ‘Ruston Royal’

ID: P183
Introduced: 2010
By: Norfolk & Suffolk Group
Reason: Discovered as a chance seedling at East Ruston Old Vicarage. Alan Gray believes this to be a cross between Erysimum ‘Bowles Mauve’ and a Canary Island species.

Pests: Like all brassicas they can be susceptible to flea beetle damage which appears as small holes in the leaves. Club root can be a problem if the soil is too acid.
