Wallflowers from seeds

Hello. I’ve a load of wallflower seedlings in a tray that have germinated and need thinning out. The packet instructions state to prick out and plant outside where to flower next year. Would pricking these out into module trays to grow on before planting out (late summer/early autumn) be ok to do? Thanks.

    Yes, move them into modules first.
    After the modules, you can plant them into a nursery bed in the garden temporarily then move them to their final flowering positions in autumn

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I pricked mine out into modules last week. I'll plant them out in September or so, probably. If they get too big before then I'll put them in individual pots for a while (no free space for a nursery bed).
