Hi there

Just checked up and its full name is Erysimum wallflower


Do you know, that did pass through my mind and straight out the other
side because I could imagine a nursery or gc shortening it to Erys but
it has nothing to do with Hydrangeas, so I do hope you weren't sold it
as such. It's the evergreen wallflower. I don't know Pere Wall, so
wonder if that part of the name is correct, too! I think your best
bet is to ring the place that sold it to you and get its full name
correctly. Possibly one of the best known Erysimums is E Bowles Mauve.
