You can still plant flowers, too! This way, you’ll have a marvelous second flush of bloom and can cut armfuls for Labor Day! June and July are also good times to start seeds for perennials and biennials to bloom next spring. Spring and fall are the best times to plant trees and shrubs because the soil temperature is mild. Summer is too warm—remember, you want to prevent root shock! Spring is usually the preferable choice because your plants have all year to spread their roots and get established.Summer isn’t as ideal of a time to plant as spring or early fall, but with a few precautions, most plants will do fine. Peak sunlight and searing heat are added stressors on young plants with small roots, not to mention, summer soil tends to be drier.
What is the best month to start planting flowers?
The best time to plant trees, flowers, or any plant is during the dormant season. In North America, this is usually late fall through early spring. While it’s okay to plant during the rest of the year, it will require more maintenance from you in the form of watering, fertilizers, etc. Annual flowers complete their entire life cycle in just one season. They can be planted any time after the danger of frost has passed, with most summer annuals being planted in spring or early summer. Annuals bloom continuously before dying at the end of the summer.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.
