I was late sowing wallflower seeds last year, mid August in trays. I planted them out in the mild November and they grew on really well and a few (5% maybe) flowered. Now we're in Mid June and the rest are refusing to throw up flower buds and are taking up summer bedding space - what do you reckon folks, pull or leave??
Thanks for that, I did actually plant them last November and expected them to flower in spring this year. Shall I leave them in and see what happens next spring or have they had their day?
I'm going to attempt some cuttings off an orange one I have I think. I chopped the others back as they were starting to look a mess, but they might have some bits on I can use too. I might wait for some seeds too - cover all bases

They should do-yes

I have no flowers on mine either, huge plants but no flowers?
Sound advice Verdun, thanks,

I'm wondering whether the mild winter confused them - probably didn't think it was time to flower yet.
