Wallflowers

I grew some wallflowers from seed in my polytunnel back end of last year, but I neglected to plant them out in beds due to other responsibilities.

Would it be too late now to plant them out considering we are in a warmish spell, I can protect them also if need be. These plants are approx 12 inches tall or more.

Many thanks.

Yes esp if you can protect them overnight for a few nights. Wallflowers are very tough plants but they will have been cosseted in polytunnel so sensible to protect them

 

Many thanks Verdun.

Assuming they've been sown fairly close together, they might be easier to protect overnight for a few days if dug up in clumps and kept in some plastic supermarket crates/veggie crates prior to planting out in their final positions.

 

Incidentally, I grow wallflowers as specimen plants...... 70 to 100 cm tall bushy plants and now flowering. Easy to do from a spring sowing

 

Got any pics?

They'd be very different from the Persian Carpet? I used to grow and plant out for my Mother for many years after she became incapable of shopping for them, calling them 'weasels' after her stroke, which was was a bit of a shock the first time I heard it when she asked me to remove 2 bin bags of dead weasels from her front garden.

 

Yes, should get a picture or two tomorrow Scrungee....they were 4 selected colours. Pinched out 3 or 4 times to produce density
