Sharon said:Does that mean it won't grow very well in ground or in clumps, Janet?
Wallflowers grow well in the ground but don't come back every year nice and fresh, some will regrow but as you have seen with yours the old stems don't make a good plant. They are best dug up and replaced with new plants, something I don't want the bother of but it used to be a popular bedding plant here. If you really like it you could see if it makes seed and grow some new plants, the one you have is trying to give a good show so you could just enjoy it while it lives.
