Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve', commonly known as Bowles's Mauve Wallflower, is a long-flowering evergreen perennial prized for its masses of fragrant mauve-purple flower spikes that bloom over an exceptionally extended season. Set against attractive narrow grey-green foliage, the vibrant flowers provide continuous colour from late winter through to summer, and often beyond in mild climates. Its compact, bushy habit makes it an ideal choice for borders, cottage gardens, rockeries, and containers.
Highly regarded for its resilience and ease of care, Bowles's Mauve Wallflower thrives in sunny positions with well-drained soil and is drought tolerant once established. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, making it an excellent addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. Whether planted as a feature, in mixed perennial borders, or mass planted for a stunning display, this reliable variety delivers months of colour with minimal maintenance.
