The plants did not thrive. Very few flowers. They were planted and cared for by a professional gardener. This applied to both varieties of wallflower purchased.

These are sold as bare-root plants, which have recently been dug up from the ground. Therefore, they will look a bit wilted and sad when they arrive, however field grown plants are usually stronger. They should be planted out as soon as possible, and they will usual pick up when they have settled in.
Opening soft lemon before quickly turning a pale buttery shade, the flowers of this wallflower provide a soothing backdrop for strong purples and plums, as well as strengthening predominantly white and creamy bedding dispalys. A firm favourite in the spring garden, they are very easy to grow and the flowers also have a spicy scent. - Garden care: Provide cloche protection where frosts are very severe or prolonged.

After the last frost date, plant up containers with tender flowering bedding and reliable foliage plants. Line terracotta pots with polythene, taking care not to cover the planting holes, to reduce water loss through the porous sides of the pot.
