What kinds of flowers can you plant in June?

Content


In the spring, hands did not reach the flower bed, and now the question is: what flowers can be planted on the site in the summer? Each plant has its own regime, requirements for temperature and length of daylight hours. Planting too early or late will lead to the fact that ornamental crops in the garden will develop poorly, flowering will be weak, and perennial rhizomes will not accumulate enough strength for wintering. The flower garden will immediately take on a decorative look if you correctly place perennials in it, seedlings preparing to bloom and areas sown with annual seeds.

Fast growing flowers from seeds

If the seeds hatch quickly and sprout, a few days after sowing, the land in the garden will be covered with a pleasant green carpet, and soon with bright inflorescences. It is advisable to soak large grains before planting for swelling or treat them with a growth stimulator, then they hatch faster. It is better to sow small seeds by mixing them with sand or used tea leaves.

If you want to quickly close empty spaces after dug up bulbs and harvested primroses baskets, use fast growing ornamental crops:

In June, with the onset of stable heat, biennial plants can be sown in the garden.

Planting perennials

In June, it's time to get the tubers of heat-loving crops from the storage and plant them on a flower bed in the garden. Dahlias have long been asking for open ground. Leave 3 shoots and bury the rhizome in the flowerbed. When 4 pairs of leaves are formed on the stem, pinch the top, and more flowers will develop.

If the weather was dry for a long time before planting, dig up the ground the day before and spill it well with water.Make large holes for the rhizomes, which should be loose in the soil. So that all perennials in the garden begin to develop actively, put fertilizers in the holes. After planting, water the soil again abundantly and lay in the mulching material.

Planting flower seedlings

Transplanting

Seedlings of cold-resistant flowers have already been planted in May, now it's time to move the most delicate plants to open ground. If the nights in your area are cold, a week before the transplant, start hardening the seedlings: first let them sleep on a loggia or an open veranda under cover, and then without any protection.

  • Amaranth.
  • Begonia.

For a transplant, it is better to choose a cloudy, cool day. Plant in damp soil, then be sure to water to compact the soil. Until the flowers take root, cover them from both the midday sun and the night cold.

June is the best time to purchase rhizomes and seedlings without material costs. Your neighbors in the garden have already filled all the flower beds, and the planting material has been prepared with a margin. What to do with the surplus? It is a pity to throw away living plants, but there is no place in the country anymore. You can talk to friends, they will gladly give you some seedlings. Just do not forget the custom - you need to give small money for the plants. It is believed that after this, both you and your neighbor will grow well.

If you want the flowerbed in the country house to quickly become covered with a multi-colored carpet, you can grow seedlings of annuals, and in June plant them in open ground in the garden. Often by this time, some seedlings are already beginning to form buds. You don't even need to transplant, and in the spring sow seeds in flowerpots, pots and containers. Warmth will come, and you will take the containers outside and place them in a flower garden, along paths or next to benches.

Features of summer landing

In June, the soil is often not as wet as in spring; it will be difficult for plants to take root in hot and dry times. If you are just setting up a flower garden on the ground in the summer, where nothing has grown this year, dig up and moisten the soil well on the eve of planting so that the soil is saturated with water. Water the seeds well and cover with foil until germination so that the earth does not dry out. In extreme heat, shade the crops, otherwise the seeds will simply cook in the hot soil.

Perennials and seedlings are best planted on a cloudy day. Look at the forecast, it is desirable that the sun in the country is not too bright for a few days after planting. If this is not possible, plant in the evening so that the first hours after transplantation pass in the cool night. Flowers need to be watered well and protected from the sun for the first days. The land under the summer plantings must be mulched: in case of extreme heat and dryness, moisture from the soil will evaporate in a few hours.

Plants in pots and containers are particularly affected by heat and lack of moisture. If it's easy to cover them from the sun, then not all summer residents can constantly water them. When planting, you can add a hydrogel to the soil, it will absorb water, and then it will release it in small portions. Cover the surface of the earth between flowers with decorative pebbles.

June works in the flower garden

In early summer, in addition to planting new flowers, one should not forget about caring for other inhabitants of the flower garden. Many plants in the garden during this time intensively develop green parts that need nitrogen. If you notice that the leaves are becoming light, and the growth of the bush is slowing down, feed the flowers with urea or ammonium nitrate.

Some ornamental crops are already producing buds in June. The formation of inflorescences takes a lot of nutrients. Be sure to feed the plants, make sure that the preparation contains phosphorus. You can use complex fertilizer, organic matter, or some other preparations.

Don't forget about the plants in containers, flowerpots, and hanging planters.Their roots cannot get food from the deep layers of the soil, and with a lack of the necessary components, a beautiful bush will not form. Top dressing in June is very necessary, but in everything you need to observe the measure. Some growers believe that if ornamental plants are not eaten, excess fertilizer will not harm them. It can hurt, and very badly. An excess of nitrogen causes the rapid development of greenery to the detriment of the formation of buds, overfed plants often become sick and deformed.

In the heat, in the absence of rain, the grass in the meadows can dry out, but in the fertilized watered flower beds in the country, weeds grow with terrible force. If you have not mulched the land, you will have to do weeding both in young plantings and in a flower bed with adult perennials. Be careful not to pull out newly established seedlings with a long weed root. Do not use deep cultivators near plants whose roots are close to the ground.
