Default Wallflowers and Cabbages
I know that wallflowers are a brassica, but I love them and have planted a clump on my lottie. Should I rotate them to lessen the risk of club root, or would it just be best to keep them well away from my plot?

I think it is best to crop rotate every brassica to prevent disease but I might be wrong as your Wallflowers is also a flower. I am sure the experienced grapes will be more definite about it .

I would just rotate them with the brassicas! Don't forget to give them a dressing of lime to get the best from them!

As one who has learned to live with clubroot on their previous plot I am ultra careful with brassica rotation!
