WALL FLOWER (Perennial) 



The charm and fragrance of Wallflower is much appreciated in Europe. They flower 

 early, and are often called the true "harbingers of spring." They thrive in poor soil, 

 but are not hardy and should be sown in a cold frame during the autumn months and 

 transplanted to the open ground in the spring.
