Plant of the Day
Saturday 11 May 2019
The Erysimum mutabile (wallflower) is well placed in-front of the fountain-like grass Ampelodesmos mauritanicus (rope grass, dis grass). This elegant grass needs a dry, well-drained soil in a sunny location. As does the Erysimum which forms a small short-lived woody perennial covered with long stems of multicoloured flowers. The dark purple buds open to creamy-yellow flowers which become entirely mauve with age.
