Wallflowers

Jo71Jo71 Posts: 34

My wallflowers were great but what do I do now that they have finished. Should I leave all the greenery there or pull up. If I do pull up then I will have a big gap where everything else is flowering   Do I replace will something new at this time of year. Any advice please????

    ive brought some wallflower this year never had much look growing them ... they were only plug size so I replanted them into a bigger pot ,  there now big enough to go into the garden... I think you just leave them in when their flowers have died back have you dead headed them to produce more flowers...

    Hi annmarie 2. Yes I have but they look really untidy.

    Thank you everyone for your input. Will get them all out tomorrow and replace with something else for the rest of the summer. Don't know what though yet. ????

    Have you got something already growing in a pot which you might put in it's place (pot and plant)? I do this when I've cut back my hardy geraniums (imminent).

    No I haven't paulk2 but will check out what's available as replacements. 

     

     

     

  • well I leave mine sometimes if they are not in the way and they flower again next year but might be a bit spindly and then after that flowering you do have to get them out once they're finished but save the seeds.

    Jo71 I sometimes leave mind in if they look good enough.Some of them might die and some will get bushy, but I would have taken mine out end of may and put summer bedding in.I always grow mine from seed,mixed colours.
