Should wallflowers flower in autumn?

I recently bought some wallflowers at a local market in bud. I also bought some at a nursery without any buds . I also grew some from seed(only about 6 plants developed I.m sorry to say) These also are without bud. I believed wallflowers bloomed only in Spring. If so should I pinch out the budded ones?

My local Nursery sells some that are autumn flowering, they carry on after any cold snaps, and flower again in the spring! Great little plants. :-)

are they the type that you use as spring bedding? the day length is the trigger for flower buds. if they are the perennial type than they do repeat flower. mine are doing so now.
you could nip them out but i dont see a problem in leaving them. early flowers :o). the frost may nip them back but they will be fine.
