Growing Instructions for Wallflower:

Since this seed needs light to germinate, sow it on the surface of the soil and compact it lightly. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 30 days before direct sowing on the surface of the soil. This seed can also be started indoors, sown on the surface of a flat; keep the soil lightly moist and at a temperature of 65-70 degrees until germination, which should occur within 10-15 days. Transplant the seedlings after the last spring frost.

This plant prefers dry and poor soil and may die if the soil is too rich. Though seedlings need watering until they become established, mature plants prefer dry soil. Regular deadheading will allow the greatest number of blooms. This plant is often grown as an annual, though classified as a perennial; it will also reseed itself, though the plant can be trimmed back after blooming to prevent this. If overwintering this plant, cover it with a layer of mulch for protection and make sure the soil remains very dry.

Wallflower makes an excellent cut flower and has a pleasant fragrance. Cut long stems of flowers that have just opened, and remove leaves that will fall below the water level; place in water immediately.
