June marks the end of the ideal planting period for certain flowers. If your garden still has space, now is the time to act!
1. Plant Summer Perennials
Agapanthus, Helenias, Delospermas, Love-in-a-Mist, Penstemons, Lavenders… These varieties can still be planted in June and offer generous blooms until autumn. They attract pollinators all summer long 🌿🐝
2. Promote Biodiversity
By varying bloom times, you ensure a continuous source of nectar for beneficial insects. A vibrant garden is a resilient garden!
3. Maintain What's Already There
- Mound gladioli to support their growth.
- Mulch dahlias to reduce watering.
- Sow poppies directly and hollyhocks in a nursery bed.
4. Remove Faded Flowers
A simple act that stimulates new blooms and prolongs flowering.
5. Feed Acid-Loving Plants
Hydrangeas and azaleas appreciate a suitable fertilizer for more colorful and longer-lasting flowers. Consider our natural Fertilaine® fertilizer made from sheep's wool 🐑
6. Care for the Soil
Well-nourished soil means stronger plants and less watering. Focus on slow-release organic amendments.
👉 In June, plant intelligently, maintain strategically, and let nature do the rest!
