FAQs
When is the best time to plant Sugar Rush Wallflowers?

Can I grow these in containers?
Yes, their compact, multi-branching habit makes them an excellent choice for containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets.
Do I need to fertilize these plants?
While they are tough and handle poor soil, planting them in fertile, well-drained soil will maximize their growth and bloom density.
Are these plants fragrant?
Yes, they are noted for having a delightful sweet fragrance, making them perfect for seating areas.
What is the mature size of the plant?

Troubleshooting
Plants look wilted shortly after planting
The root system is not yet established. Water consistently for the first few weeks to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Lack of new flower production
Ensure you are removing dead flowers (deadheading). Leaving spent blooms on the plant signals it to produce seeds and stop flowering.
Stunted growth
Check that the plants are receiving enough sunlight. While they can handle partial shade, they perform significantly better with plenty of sun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Plant these plug plants in a sunny or partially shaded position for optimal health. Ensure the soil is fertile and well-drained, though the plant is hardy enough to handle less-than-ideal soil. Upon arrival, plant immediately into moist soil and water consistently until the root systems are fully established in their new environment. As the plants grow, deadhead spent flowers regularly; this simple act directs the plant's energy into producing new buds rather than seeds, effectively extending the blooming period throughout the season.
