🌼Why June is the Best Month to Plant Perennial Flowers 🌼


Listen Later

Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, here! June is the perfect month to plant perennial flowers, ensuring a garden full of vibrant blooms and resilient plants.

This time of year, the soil is warm, promoting root growth, and there’s ample sunlight for thriving foliage. Consider planting hardy varieties like Coreopsis, Premier Orange Carnations, and Black-eyed Susans. These perennials not only add a splash of color but also attract butterflies while deterring pests like rabbits and javelinas.

When planting, make sure to choose well-draining soil and water deeply but infrequently to encourage strong root systems. Regularly deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. For added flower power, use a balanced fertilizer every two weeks.

Enjoy the beauty and ease of these perennials, making your garden a colorful, lively haven. Happy planting!
