Erysimum ‘Bowles’s Mauve’ is a woody-based perennial featuring narrow, lance-shaped, grey-green to blue-green leaves and vibrant, mauve-purple flowers blooming intensely from spring through fall. Sterile. Uses include mass bedding, border, edging, container, rock garden. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. Moderate water needs; highly drought-resistant once established. It prefers sharply drained, poor to moderately fertile soil with a neutral to alkaline pH. It will rot in soggy, wet soils.

Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to -10°.
