One of the perennial wallflowers, Bowle's Mauve blooms for five or six weeks in early spring. The flowers are varying shades of a luscious purple. Pruning is necessary after bloom. The flower wands will get longer and longer with blooms continuing to open on top. Eventually this gets a bit much and they need to be cut back. The bush is an attractive blue-gray that makes a nice 2 foot mound. Plant with McKana's Giant Columbines and other early spring flowers.
