wallflower
9cm pot
Available in 3 weeks

This long-flowering, bushy, vigorous wallflower produces long spires of deep mauve flowers from late winter to summer above narrow, grey-green leaves. It is a short-lived plant, but makes a vivid display for months in a sunny border. Try it as part of a colour-themed scheme, or contrast it with vivid yellows. It also looks good in a rock garden or raised bed. - Garden care: Provide cloche protection where frosts are very severe or prolonged.

Notes on Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve'
"This sun-loving trouper deserves a long service medal - the mauve flower spikes comes out with the tulips (or earlier) and are still going strong in September"

Very useful plant, grows into a small bush by second year, freely flowering for a long season, early into flower in Spring of second year. Good for ground cover.

Very healthy plants on arrival and they haven't disappointed - planted last spring, it's now January and they are still flowering! You can't go wrong with these in the right setting. Highly recommended.

One of my favourites for the mixed border. It flowers from spring through to the first frosts. It keeps most of its bulk during the winter so no bare patch with die back and lasts a few years before getting too leggy and needing replacing.

Planted in a raised bed, along with some more mature plants. It soon bulked up and looked beautiful. Looking forward to seeing its progress next year.

I planted these in a front border interspersed with mini daffodils. So far very successful.The plants have bushed out and after the first flowering and a trim, they are now flowering again. They give a nice splash of late summer colour.

Yes. Bowles Mauve is a great plant. Flowers and flowers all summer and still going. Needs cutting back to renew. It struggled a bit in the heat this year.
