How to Grow
Start indoors in a soil-less mix in early March. Sow seed 6 mm deep and keep at 20° C for 20-25 days germination period. After germination grow on at slightly cooler temperatures before hardening off and transplanting to a sunny to slightly shaded area in the garden. Wallflower has two-year life cycle. Plants grow only leaves first season from seed. In second season, they bloom, cast seed and die with first frost.
