Product Description
Erysimum ‘Bowles’s Mauve’, commonly known as wallflower ‘Bowles’s Mauve’, is a much-loved evergreen perennial renowned for its exceptionally long flowering period and easy-going nature. Forming a bushy mound of narrow, dark grey-green leaves, this variety sends up elegant, upright racemes of rich mauve flowers, each around 2cm across. The vibrant purple blooms appear in spring and continue right through summer and into autumn, offering months of reliable colour.
Growing to an ultimate height and spread of 0.5–1 metre within 1–2 years, this hardy wallflower is perfectly suited to UK gardens. It thrives in full sun and performs well in east-, south- or west-facing aspects, tolerating both exposed and sheltered positions. Erysimum ‘Bowles’s Mauve’ is particularly effective in mixed borders, wildlife-friendly gardens, gravel gardens and large patio containers, where its long-lasting flowers provide valuable nectar for bees and other pollinators.
Supplied in a 2L pot and grown under the Garden Centre Fresh brand, this plant is ready to establish quickly in well-drained soil, bringing enduring colour and structure to your outdoor space.
