Bare Roots
This is the traditional format for wallflower planting, tried and tested by generations of gardeners. Planted this way you will have earlier results in spring and many more flowers compared to pot grown plants. Your plants have recently been dug up from the ground and may look slightly wilted and sad on arrival. You may also notice a cabbage smell – this is nothing to worry about - despite their pretty flowers, wallflowers are actually from the same family as cabbages and other brassicas!
For best establishment soak the roots in water for an hour or so before planting. These strong field-grown plants will perk up quickly within one or two weeks once planted into your borders or patio pots.

These plants are lifted from the nursery field when dormant, and sent to you in late autumn or spring for planting. They often look dead on arrival, but they are just resting in the dormant period and will establish quickly for a strong start in the garden come spring. Set out in prepared soil in holes wide enough and deep enough to lay out the roots. Tread down the planting soil to knock out air pockets. Water well to settle. Apply a mulch to protect roots from cold temperatures. If conditions prevent immediate planting, set roughly into loose soil or a pot of compost (‘heeling in’) to protect the roots. The growth points of most bare root perennials should be set about an inch below the soil surface. New growth will appear in spring.
