Frequently Bought Together
Description
If you want a plant that keeps your garden looking colourful and cared-for for months on end, Erysimum ‘Bowles Mauve’ is a true favourite. This long-flowering wallflower produces soft mauve-purple blooms in generous waves, held above neat, evergreen grey-green foliage.
It’s perfect for sunny borders, gravel gardens and pots, and it’s especially lovely threaded through roses, salvias and ornamental grasses for a relaxed, natural feel. Pollinators adore it too — a real bonus when you’re planting with wildlife in mind.

Caragh Garden Notebook
Some plants don’t shout — they simply show up, again and again, making the garden feel finished. Erysimum ‘Bowles Mauve’ is one of those quiet heroes: a soft haze of mauve that returns in waves, keeping colour going long after the first spring flush has passed.
We love it near paths and doorways in pots (where you’ll notice the detail), and in the front of sunny borders where it can knit everything together — roses, salvias, lavender, grasses — all softened by that gentle, smoky purple.
Caragh tip: When the flowers start to fade, give it a light trim. It’s often the difference between “that was lovely” and “it’s still going!”
