Bedding Plants
07/01/2013
Keep your bedding plants healthy by deadheading, watering, and feeding with a good quality fertiliser. Pick flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and prevent plants from putting energy into seed production.

With the number of flowers available for planting reduced as mid-summer approaches, your main jobs this month are weeding out the beds, watering and keeping your larger plants and bushes under control.

Now is the time to plant:

Perennial Alyssum, Anemone, Ornamental Cabbage, Cactus, Calceolaria, Camomile, Chinese Lantern, Clematis, Coleus, Daisy, Dracocephalum, Forget-me-not, Gaillardia, Perennial Linum, Michaelmas Daisy, Myosotis, Nemesia, Perennial Pansy, Perennial Penstemon, Polyanthus, Primrose, Primula Malacoides, Primula Pulverulenta, Prunella Freelander, Pyrethrum, Strelitzia, Thyme, Biennial Viola, and Wallflower.

July
As the New Year brings a fresh beginning, start as you mean to go on and keep on top of those jobs like weeding and pruning. You can also start sowing tomatoes, chillies and onions seeds indoors for planting out later.
