Hi there,

Last autumn I planted wallflowers for the first time & they put on a great
late spring show but they're on their way out now. Are wallflowers
annuals?
Do I just rip them off now or is it worth leaving them for another season?

Many thanks




Wallflowers are really perennials but are treated as annuals as they get
leggy and aren't as good in their first flowering.

But if you trim them back now to a sideshoot fairly low down on the
stem, they will not be as leggy, and will come back well next year. I
can't be bothered with re-sowing every year, and my current crop of
wallflowers are at least 5 years old.
