Erysimum alpinum ‘Snow’

A graceful white-flowered form of the alpine wallflower, Erysimum alpinum 'Snow' brings soft elegance to rock gardens, scree beds, and alpine troughs. Its pure white blooms appear in clusters above slender grey-green foliage in late spring, offering a cool, luminous contrast among bolder-coloured companions. Compact and tidy in habit, it thrives in tough, free-draining spots and can gently self-seed in favourable conditions.
