Can I start flower seeds in June?
June and July are also good times to start seeds for perennials and biennials to bloom next spring. I sow seeds in a protected seed bed and then transplant seedlings in fall to overwinter, then bloom, ensuring me a wonderful spring greeting in the garden next year. When it’s mid to upper 60’s after your last frost date, you are good to go. I’m in zone 6 as well and I throw seeds at the end of May (last week) but have planted as late as mid June.
