It is barely possible to do jurist to such an interesting and divers genus in a single clause but here is a solid sixteen of my absolute favourites of this sweet - perfumed industrial plant .
In our speedy circuit of Erysimum specie we must start withE. cheiriandE.‘Bowles’sMauve’:E. cheiriis the ‘ original ’ species from which most British variety fall andBowles ’s Mauveis probably the most popular cultivar .

If you’re able to observe it !
It is a rare and endangered species found in a dwindle position in California .
Its foliation is as strange as the industrial plant ; the leaves are very dark and silken .

6)E.‘Golden Jubilee’
One of the more democratic cultivars and if you ca n’t findE. menziesii , you may habituate this one as a sub because the flowers are somewhat similar both in conformation and in chromaticity .

The efflorescence are bantam and have eye - catching mauve to deep purple hues that are very outstanding against the plant ’s foliation .
9)E. baeticum&E. cazorlense
These flowers have nigh the same chromaticity as those of pallasii but the resemblance finish there .
The petals are narrow-minded and more detached ; as for the plant , they are indigenous to sunny Spain !
