What is the common local name of Wall flower? Does it have one colour or multi?

@ khabbab.....i tried them last year..they were earliest to bloom and last annual that i plucked out of the border. though they became shabby in the end which is April. I kept them to save seeds but it appeared they were not ready to die soon and then my patience gave up :-)...

@ munir...only yellow color is available...and they are available with the same name

Hi Munir.you can easily get Wall flower seedlings from Fateh Muhammad or Pak flora nursery at Peshwar mod.please do not pick seedlings if they have shown any flower buds.it because when an annual has shown flower buds it means it has finished its life span.

I have some rust,some light yellow and some white, deep yellow is the one I like
You can plant them in situ, They produce a lot of seeds, Jut mix seed with sand and pour it in 1/2 inch deep channel, water and wait. You can also sow them 2-4 weeks apart. The bees love it.
