Wallflowers are grown as spring bedding plants, and discarded after flowering, but they can be kept for several years until they become straggly.
If you want to save seeds, wait until the pods are just beginning to split and then let the seed heads open lying on a sheet of newspaper. Or just cut them away and tidy up the plant for flowering again next year.
