Cultivation Advice 

• Sow from last frost until August at ¼ inch depth.
• Germination temperature 20°C (68°F).
• Germination should take place within 3 weeks.
• If sowing in trays, prick out into small pots / trays
• until time to transplant or sow thinly direct into a nursery bed
• and thin out when large enough to handle to encourage strong plants..
• Keep weed free and moist during hot periods. (Note Wallflowers are susceptible to Club root in acid soils)
• In autumn plants should be moved to their final flowering position for the following spring.
• Space plants approx. 12 inches apart and pinch out growing tips to encourage bushy growth.
• Plants should be removed at the end of spring once flowering has finished and replaced by annuals for succession of colour.
• The plant may survive to the following year if pruned back heavily, but will look unsightly at first.
