Gardening Jobs for June
June is when the garden really comes to life. If you’re like us, your June is usually filled with garden parties, BBQs and lazy weekends relaxing, which means your garden needs to look the part. Here are our garden jobs for June to get you started.
What to plant in June
Continue to plant your bulbs outdoors.
You can plant bulbs outdoors from May, as soon as the frosts have passed, but don’t be worried if you haven’t already planted them - you can still plant them in the ground outdoors in June, whether directly or after potting up. Make sure to water well if it's sunny and hot, and you should see flowers start to sprout very soon!
Plant plug plants in hanging baskets.
Add quick colour to your garden with garden-ready plug plants - our largest plugs that are well-suited to plant out straight away on arrival. Order plug plants online or buy some annuals from your local garden centre and get planting. Hanging baskets are perfect for adding some fun seasonal interest that you can swap out in Autumn.
Plant potted plants in the garden.
If you're wondering what plants to plant in June, you can add more instant impact to your garden with potted nursery plants. If you missed your chance to grow from loose roots earlier in the year, potted plants are perfect for summer planting. Our potted plants are available from 9cm pots to great 2.5-litre pots - ideal for planting with minimal effort, and reaping the benefits much sooner. They flower in their first year and can be left in place to establish and grow year after year.
Have you seen our NEW range of Large Format Pots? We’ve introduced a range of your favourite perennials and shrubs, now available in larger pots. Add instant impact to your garden this year with these great value nursery plants, grown in J. Parker’s nursery in Lincolnshire.
Plant potted roses.
Our NEW range of potted roses is ideal for summer, available in 2L pots and ready to be planted on arrival. You will receive a much more established plant than a bare root, guaranteed to survive with no stress. Simply order your favourites online, get them delivered to your door, and plant them out into beds, borders or containers as soon as you receive them.
Garden jobs in June
Lift and store tulip bulbs.
Some Tulips are perennial, meaning you can lift them after flowering and store them over summer. You can store them in a cool, dry place such as in a garage, and ensure they stay completely dry, such as in a bed of straw.
Not everybody likes to do this, however! Some gardeners lift and dispose of bulbs to replace them next year, so if you’re a fan of this, make sure to compost your bulbs at home.
Reminder: our spring-flowering bulbs are available online now for pre-order! Check out our NEW additions to the range and order yours now to secure your favourite varieties.
Summer prune your wisteria.
June is a great time to give your wisteria shrubs a much-needed summer prune. You can use a sharp pair of secateurs to cut all the lengthy side shoots down to around 20cm long - this will promote fresh growth and more flowering next spring.
Support tall-growing perennials.
If you’ve planted perennials like Hollyhocks or Delphiniums, they may need some extra care as they grow taller. You can use bamboo canes that don’t ruin the look of a lovely garden border, and tie your plants to the canes with little pieces of string. This will make sure strong winds don’t damage or kill your flowers right as they’re at their best.
Cut back spring-flowering perennial plants.
Perennials like Pulmonaria that flower in spring can be cut back now. Simply cut back the foliage to the base to encourage your plants to put on a fresh flurry of foliage to carry on the late-spring interest.
Support climbing roses.
If you’re seeing fresh new shoots on your climbing roses, one of the best things to do is to tie them horizontally to supports. This could be to a mesh or trellis, but tying shoots upright can encourage new healthy rose flowers to form.
Pinch out bedding plants.
When you spot new flower buds on your Fuchsias or other bedding plants, you can pinch these out - pinching them off down to the next set of leaves. Your plants will form an excess of new flowers in their place, perfect for getting bushier blooms.
Prune late spring-flowering shrubs.
Shrubs like Weigela and Philadelphus can be pruned after they’ve finished flowering. Thin out older, spent stems to avoid your shrubs getting leggy.
