Product Details

With its softly scented mauve flowers and neatly mounding habit, Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve' is a must-have for gardens needing colour and structure throughout the year. Blooming from spring through to autumn, these flower plants provide exceptionally long-lasting displays, filling borders with familiar colour for months on end.

The slender, evergreen foliage adds structure all year round, making it a valuable addition even in winter. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Bowles’s Mauve’ is perfect for mixed borders, gravel gardens, and even containers. It looks stunning alongside early-flowering bulbs and summer perennials, seamlessly bridging the seasons like little else can, and pairs well with other plants with purple flowers. And with regular deadheading, this plant will keep flowering for even longer, even in drier conditions – Erysimum works wonders alongside other drought-tolerant plants.

This variety of Erysimum makes great cut flowers. Snip a few stems for indoor arrangements or small posies to enjoy their soft scent up close.

Remove the lower leaves to reduce transpiration. Plant the cuttings in a tray with free-draining compost and place them in a warm, sheltered spot. Using a propagator or placing a plastic bag over the top of the cuttings helps to maintain humidity and reduce water loss.
