Not sure what to plant this month?
This month, June, if you’re in the mood for some planting and aren’t sure what you should be doing now, then here’s what we suggest:
Plant out dahlias, penstemons, salvias, echinacea, lupins and any other lovely summer flowering cottage garden plants
- If you haven’t done so, plant out summer bedding plants into borders, containers and hanging baskets
- Sow salad crops in succession to ensure a continuous harvest
- Courgettes, cucumbers, tomatoes and other tender crops can be planted outside
- Grasses can still be planted this month, as can any hardy shrubs
- Lift and divide bulbs that have finished flowering such as bluebells, daffodils, hyacinths and tulips.
