      yes, unfortunately they do munch them but that's why I grow more than I need...safety in numbers 🤣

    Dame’s Rocket grows wild here and is considered an invasive. It’s so lovely and I enjoy it every spring!! Take care 😊

      Oh wow! I've never seen it wild here but it probably does grow somewhere. Must be beautiful in large drifts 😁

    As alway's a lovely inspiring video! My late father had a large garden and would grow a lot of wallflowers. I seem to remember him growing them from bare root plants, but he did grow an enormous variety of flowers and vegetables from seed. He really loved his garden. Unfortunately I only have a small garden, but do have a perennial wallflower 'Bowles Mauve' in a pot, which I purchased from a garden centre. 😊

      @marilyneves8856 Your wallflower must be very pretty and I bet your father's garden was a paradise.
      In Corfu yellow wallflowers grow on the outside of the massive stone wall in town at the gardens, over the sea, in March .

      ​@@youlamatouThank you for your kind words. The yellow wallflowers must look really beautiful in Corfu!

      Bowles Mauve is wonderful. Such a long lasting flower in the garden the colour is so pretty. 😊

    Many thanks for all the information. Would you tell me where you buy the individual seed trays please. Thank you.

    I cleared out my little seed propagator house yesterday, ready to try wall flowers and sweet William. I might add some sweet rocket now.

    Hi Annette, I really hope the seeds germinate for you. I grew a couple of varieties One was called Scarlet Bedder and the other was My Fair Lady Mixed. I grew some and gave them to a friend with an allotment. I got a bit mixed up, but the ones I had in my garden were red with fiery orange. I think they were from the mix. I had a problem in that I was struggling to find places to plant them out. My garden isn't easy to tend so I try to grow most things in pots, and I am always short of big pots. I have some that are still in cell trays actually so I will try to do something with them. You have a nice selection, and those large ones are going to be glorious. Thanks for the video. XX

      Thanks Jimmy. Sounds like the My Fair Lady mix is wonderfully bright and colourful - just what we all need in the sping. 😁

    My dames rocket did not do anything this year during winter sowing but luckily I still have some so I will try again. I don't think that I have seen wallflower seeds but will look.

    Hi, just discovered your channel on TH-cam. I have found it very interesting and informative. Can you tell me if my wallflower seed pods self pop/split or do I do it myself? Thank you in advance. 💚💚💚

    • @cottoverdi
      @cottoverdi  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Jennifer, I really don't know - I've never collected seeds from wallflowers before. Sorry I can't be more help. 😕

    • @jenniferlittle7206
      @jenniferlittle7206 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ok. Thank you for replying. I've ordered a packet of wallflower seeds just in case. 😊
