June is a month of abundance and beauty in the garden, with longer days and warmer weather coaxing plants into full bloom. Many perennials, annuals, and shrubs reach their peak this month, creating a kaleidoscope of colors and scents.
Key June Flowering Plants:
- Roses: Climbing, shrub, and hybrid tea roses provide vibrant blooms in shades ranging from pastel pinks to deep reds.
- Geraniums (Cranesbills): Reliable and long-flowering, these perennials offer charming, open-faced flowers in blues, pinks, and purples.
- Foxgloves (Digitalis): Towering spires of bell-shaped flowers bring height and drama to borders.
- Peonies: Luxuriously fragrant and showy, peonies make a statement with their large, layered blooms.
- Delphiniums: Their tall, elegant spikes in blues, whites, and purples add grace to any planting scheme.
In tropical-style gardens like yours, Cannas, Hedychiums, and early Alstroemerias might also be joining the display.
Tips for a Thriving June Garden:
- Regular deadheading keeps blooms coming and prevents plants from diverting energy into seed production.
- Water consistently during dry spells to sustain flowering plants, especially new additions or container specimens.
- Fertilize with a balanced feed to support lush growth and extended blooming.
June’s floral display is a celebration of the gardener’s effort and nature’s resilience, filling the garden with color, fragrance, and wildlife activity.
