SHardy Biennial. Bushy evergreen plant with fragrant, cross-shaped flowers growing in dense clusters. Needs rich, very well-drained soil. Pinch tips of young plants to encourage blossoming. Wall flower grows as a perennial only in cool, humid areas, such as the Pacific Northwest. Where summers are hot, grow wallflower as a spring-blooming annual and replace it with a heat-tolerant annual in late spring or early summer. Combine wallflower with forget-me-nots for an an attractive color contrast, as is done traditionally in English cottage gardens.
