Hi all. I've never grown wallflowers before and have planted some bare root. They're looking a bit sad, as I expected, and I know they will perk up, but should I prune back a bit before first frosts ? Any advice lovely gardening folk ?

Are they particularly attractive to slugs/snails ? Something is shredding them !!!
