Honesty takes 2 years to complete its lifecycle. It mainly spends the first year growing its foliage and strengthening its roots and develops into a showy display on its 2nd year.
Despite not flowering the first year, it still provides an attractive display of foliage on its first year and the blooms are well worth the wait.
Regularly deadhead to encourage continuous flowering or leave spent flowers uncut to develop into seed pods.
