Bowles' Mauve Wallflower (Erysimum 'Bowles' Mauve') is a legendary garden performer, often cited as one of the hardest-working perennials in existence. This award-winning variety forms a shrubby, mounding plant with narrow, blue-grey evergreen foliage. It is most famous for its incredible bloom season, producing upright spikes of four-petaled, mauve-purple flowers almost every single day of the year in mild climates.

As a robust member of the Erysimum genus, 'Bowles' Mauve' is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established and thrives in the heat of full sun. It is a vital early-season nectar source for bees and butterflies. Because it is sterile, it puts all its energy into flowering rather than seed production. Why you’ll love it: Unrivaled year-round blooming potential, beautiful silver-blue foliage, and a rugged, low-maintenance nature that survives in poor soils.

This healthy 4" live flowering plant excels in full sun and requires excellent drainage to remain vigorous.
