Good for zones 5-11 Wallflower are best direct seeded in early fall while temperatures are still in the 65 to 70 degree range. These seeds are very small so we usually mix one packet of seeds with 2-4 cups of peat before sowing to get even coverage.
You can start early in pots, or direct sow in spring, but they require a short cold treatment to germinate fully. Mix your seeds with 1 cup of sand or peat and add 1/4 cup of water so your mixture is moist but not soggy. Place in your refrigerator (not freezer) for 30 days. Let your mix dry out on the counter and sow. But please note that winter started or spring sown Wallflower seeds will generally not flower in the first year.
Technically a biennial fall sown wallflower with flower the following spring/summer. Generally wallflower sown in spring will not flower to the following springs. Very easily self seeds and will come back year after year.
