Attract Hummingbirds & Butterflies With A Purple Flower They Love
By Maeve Browne
Perennial wallflowers (Erysimum linifolium) like 'Bowles's Mauve' boast vibrant purple blooms and will entice pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies to your yard.
The wallflower's striking petals are the perfect size and shape for pollinators, which helps keep your garden biodiverse and protects your plants from pests.
'Bowles's Mauve' is a flowering, evergreen shrub that is durable and easy to care for. The low-maintenance wallflower tolerates infrequent watering and almost any type of soil.
The plant can be established in spring or fall and thrives in full to partial sunlight and well-drained soil. It does particularly well in a container garden as a "filler" plant.
