March 26, 2013A.The Wallflower is an old-fashioned garden flower which, although a perennial is usually grown as an annual or biennial because it tends to 'bloom itself to death'.
This 12"-24" plant produces a profusion of fragrant, brightly colored flowers all spring making it an excellent choice for your butterfly garden, flower bed, or garden border.Was this answer useful?00

Near BirminghamQ.Wallflowers
Now they are finished. Can I leave them in, though they look untidy, or can I cut them back? If I do this, will they return next year?

July 11, 2015A.Deadhead the flowers after flowering. The foliage can be attractive after the flowers have bloomed.
Wallflower can be grown as a perennial in warmer climates.Here is a link that will help.

January 24, 2016Q.Wallflowers
Do wallflowers bear flowers from 1st season? I had sown seeds in mid October and transplanted in mid November in 8" container trays. They are almost 1 ft tall and very healthy but not yet bloomed. It is end of January now. When should I expect them to bloom? I live in western part of India and temp right now is high of 30 and low of 15*C. Thank you, Tanvi

January 24, 2016A.Wallflowers have a two-year cycle, when grown from seed, and will grow only leaves the first year and then bear flowers the 2nd year.

Nashville TNQ.Starting a wallflower from a cutting
Does anyone have details on this? Where do I cut the cutting on the plant? Do you just put it in the soil or do you have to place in water to start the roots growing on the cutting before planting? Is spring the right time to do this?

March 27, 2016A.They root best as small side shoots. Pull from the plant with a small 'heel' attached.
Trim up the 'heel' so there are no strips of bark attached and remove the lower leaves.
Insert 1/3 of the cutting in a pot mixture of compost and perlite and keep moist in a well lit and well ventilated unheated location.
They can be planted out the following spring.
Take plenty of cuttings as the success rate can be low.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/wallflower/growing-wallflower-plants.htm

Certified ExpertA.Two things come to mind:
This can happen when there is not enough nutrients in the soil, or an excessive amount of nitrogen, but not enough potassium and phosphorus.
This can also happen when there isn't quite enough sun, so be sure that these receive more sun than shade, if they are in a shaded location.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I cannot say with certainty. Usually browning will be due to overwatering, but can be due to lack of nutrients, too much nutrients, too much sun, and crowding, depending on, exactly, how it appears.
This article will help you to care for the plant:
