Cultivation duration: Wallflower is a biennial plant that flowers in its second year after sowing, although in some conditions it can behave like an annual plant and flower in the first year. Flowering occurs from late spring to summer.
Special Features: The Wallflower is known for its spikes of dense, fragrant flowers that rise above gray-green foliage. These flowers are not only beautiful, but also highly aromatic, filling the garden with a sweet, spicy perfume, especially in the evening. Additionally, the Wallflower is hardy and can withstand a variety of conditions, making it a versatile plant for different types of gardens.
Lighting: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and abundant flowering, although it can also tolerate partial shade. Make sure the plants receive at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but well drained. Wallflowers require regular watering to keep the flowers fresh and healthy. Avoid waterlogging to prevent fungal diseases.
Pests: Wallflowers can be susceptible to pests such as aphids, caterpillars and fungal diseases. The use of environmentally friendly products such as potassium soap and Neem oil is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: Wallflower is cold hardy and can withstand light frosts, making it an excellent choice for temperate climates. In winter, in colder climates, it is recommended to protect the plants with mulch.
Substrate: A well-drained, organic-rich substrate is recommended. A slightly alkaline soil is ideal for growing Wallflowers, allowing for good drainage and healthy growth.
Harvest: Wallflowers are ideal for cutting and using in floral arrangements due to their fragrance and beauty. Cut the flowers when they are fully open to enjoy their maximum aroma. To prolong flowering, cut off spent flowers regularly.
