Had two previous gardens but my garden now is attached to a very old cottage in Wiltshire, so I'm slowly restoring it back in keeping, hopefully.

I have to admit I’ve never noticed but I don’t have a very strong sense of smell so I can’t really say for sure @pixierose

When it comes to providing colour, these wallflowers are absolute workhorses 😀.

That's really pretty. Will be joining our flower beds when our seedlings are big enough. This is the first time we're planting wallflowers. Of course, inspired by photos on GT!

It's certainly a good work horse when it comes to keeping colour it the garden @riakat @gjones , I've taken cuttings so I can spread it around a bit more 😊.

Last flower standing now. Think I need to get some evergreen plants in the garden for next winter, in order to create some year round interest.

I really need to get some of this next year. I used to have it at a previous house and was such a good long performer all year. I had an orange one too but I can't remember the variety name now.
