Default splitting up wallflowers?

Hi,

We have some large wallflower plants that I have been meaning to split up
and replant this winter but the weather has been very wet and I have not got
around to it. They are not yet in flower because they are planted in a spot
that is bright but not sunny so early in the year.

Is it too late to do this? They are looking a bit straggly! We live on the
south coast.

If so any special tips?

Thanks in adavnce for any help again,


Keith

I suspect that it will not work very well, wallflowers are best treated
as biennials, plant one year, flower the next. They will grow as
perennials, but do tend to get very straggly, they really need to create
a good root growth in autumn to enable them to flower well in the
spring. Mine are just coming into flower here in Lincolnshire.
