I have a beautiful clump of burnt orange wallflowers from last year. They are a joy to see. If I take cuttings will they come true? I’m not a great seed grower.

Thank you Seaburn. Yes, I do know how to take cuttings but it never hurts to be reminded. I’ll wait until flowering is over I think. Or, on the other hand I could take a few cuttings now as well as later as they won’t all take.
Thanks again.

If you take cuttings then they will come true. If you do grow seed then they may not come true but you may get some lovely colours.
I assume you know to remove any flowers/buds/seed heads off the material you intend to use for cuttings. This will make the plant send hormones down to initiate root growth.
