Wallflowers get their name from their spontaneous germination on crumbling (demolition) walls and/or their frequent planting at the foot of a sunny wall. So they love sun and especially not too much moisture! In such a spot, they self-seed; pruning back old plants in time and mounding up soil often encourages new growth.
