I am still learning about this little plant. Its a Erysimum 'Bowles Mauve' and I know next to nothing on it other then it has survived beyond my expectations of its imminent death and it would look epic in a cottage garden. They apparently grow up to about 75cm high (so us planting 12 in an area smaller then 1m is starting to sound like a really dumb idea) and attract a whole range of insects. In particular, butterflies love them. We planted them in part sun (sun for half a day, shade the rest), in solid clay soil and they get watered 3 times a week due to the bore. I was willing to bet they would be dead within a month and here they are, 6 months later still kicking on. Go you awesome little plant you!
