'Bowles's Mauve' is a truly exceptional evergreen perennial that behaves like a small shrub. It is celebrated for its unparalleled flowering season, which typically begins in late winter and can last well into the autumn. The deep mauve-purple flowers are held on sturdy spikes above a neat mound of narrow, glaucous blue-grey foliage.
Unlike many other wallflowers, this variety is sterile, meaning it doesn't waste energy producing seeds; instead, it puts all its vigour into continuous blooming. It is a magnet for bees and butterflies, providing a vital nectar source over a long period. It thrives in sunny, well-drained spots and is particularly well-suited to Mediterranean-style gardens, rockeries, or contemporary borders. While it is relatively short-lived (usually lasting 3-5 years), its sheer productivity makes it indispensable. To ensure it gets the best possible start in well-drained soil, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting.
