Solved Plant ID?

Hi all, can someone tell me what this might be? I'm pretty sure it had mauve-purple flowers in the summer last year. It's quite leggy and I'm wondering if I can prune it hard to make it grow more compactly, and if so, is now the time to do it?

 

Erysimum Bowles’s Mauve I think. You can prune it quite hard. I usually prune leggy ones to a woody framework but I’d wait until early Spring in case we get more frost.

 

I think it is Erysimum Bowles's Mauve as well but have found them to be fairly short lived in my own garden with the older ones getting fairly ragged looking before giving up after two or three years. I find that they take well from cuttings so have been taking some continuously for a few years now to have a regular supply of new ones to replace the older ones and think this works better than trying to prolong the life of the ones that have grown past their best.

Happy gardening!

 

Thank you! I'll take some cuttings - can I do that in spring before I prune it?

 

Spring should be fine for taking cuttings.
All the best!
