Troubleshooting
Plants are wilting during dry weather
Increase the frequency of watering, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.

Ensure the plant is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and remove dead flower heads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best results from your wallflowers, choose a planting site that receives direct sunlight throughout the day. Ensure the soil is well-drained, as these plants do not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Upon planting, give them a thorough watering to help them settle into their new environment. During the growing season, particularly if you experience dry spells, perform regular check-ins and water as needed. To keep your plants looking their best, consistently remove faded flowers; this practice, known as deadheading, prevents the plant from setting seed prematurely and encourages a more prolonged floral display.
