Decorative garden in June

Table of contents

Require underleeks

The weather in June is favorable for the development of plants. This is when the most magnificent inflorescences appear: clusters of larkspur, heavy with flowers, desert-like inflorescences growing up to 3 m in height, and enormous flowers of eastern poppies. Their weight often makes the flower shoots bend, so support the inflorescences by tying them to the stakes.

Nthese carnations

We propagate cloves by shoot cuttings. We allocate for them the tops of vegetative shoots (i.e. those with no flower buds) with four or five pairs of leaves.We collect them, pinching about 1 cm under the knot, treat with a rooting stimulant for herbaceous cuttings and place them in the substrate in boxes or pots. The substrate can be peat substrate or a mixture of de-acidified peat with sand or perlite.

Water and weeds

If necessary, we water the plants. It is much better to water less often but more intensively than often in small doses. We are constantly removing weeds that compete with ornamental plants for water and nutrients and can be a source of diseases and pests. During weeding we loosen the soil surface.

We divide primroses

June is the right time to divide primroses. Too much developed, strongly compacted clumps are more susceptible to diseases and pests. That is why it is worth dividing primroses every 3-4 years to renew plants, whose rosettes often die in the center of the root.This treatment is also an opportunity to replant the plants to a fresh and fertile place. Plants should not be divided on hot, sunny days. Another suitable date for primroses propagation by division is autumn. The second way of reproduction of primrose species is sowing seeds. This should be done no later than three weeks after their ripening, because after this time the seeds fall into a deep dormancy, from which it is difficult to "awaken" them.
