Description
Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve', commonly known as Perennial Wallflower, is a much-loved garden plant prized for its exceptionally long flowering period and soft mauve-purple blooms. This evergreen perennial produces a continuous display of fragrant purple flower spikes from spring through to autumn, making it one of the most reliable plants for long-lasting colour in borders.
The narrow grey-green foliage forms a compact bushy mound, providing attractive structure even when not in flower. The blooms are lightly sweetly scented and highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making this plant an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve' works beautifully in mixed borders, cottage gardens, gravel gardens, and container planting, where its soft colour blends effortlessly with other perennials and spring bulbs.
Hardy, drought tolerant once established, and easy to grow, this versatile plant thrives in sunny, well-drained garden conditions.
Supplied in a P13 pot, this strong young plant is ready to establish quickly and provide months of vibrant garden colour.
