June seess sunshine prevail and gardens are at their most beautiful. The month of June is also often considered as being the most stunninf flower month in the UK as it marks the peak of summer blooming. With longer days and warmer weather all providing ideal conditions for a wide variety of flowers, roses in particular step into the limelight.

Gardening expert Monty Don previously said in his blog of this time of year: “Amidst the glowing green, colour arrives like a carnival and there are Oriental poppies with huge orange blooms, Bearded Irises topped with some of the richest colours in the whole floral world, large-flowering clematis and, as the month unfurls, roses of every shade of pink, white, red and yellow.” The gardening guru also issued his top tips for June which includes an important task all gardeners must do with these four plants.

June sees many flowers reaching their full bloom and thus creates a vibrant and colorful display like no other.

“June sees roses blooming in every conceivable way and the borders filled with flowers - many of which are very early this year,” added Don.

“Even the rainy, grey days are beautiful as the British gardens and the countryside are at their very best and I adore every second of it.”

Don added how June is the time for planting but “we also cut back - often hard” particular for alliums, forget me nots, tulips and wallflowers.

These plants “can be cleared or moved to make room for the new wave of planting that takes place at the beginning of the month”.

June pruning is extremely beneficial as it encourages new growth and second blooms.

Experts state that by removing any spent flowers or cutting back plants after flowering, will help stimulate new growth and produce more blooms.

Cutting back on alliums helps prevent unwanted seed production with cutting back forget-me-nots helping to control their spread and encourages more blooms.

According to Sarah Raven, cutting back on tulips helps to conserve energy for next year's blooms.

The site explained: “Leaving the tulip foliage to wither naturally allows the bulbs to store energy through photosynthesis, which is crucial for future flowering. 

“However, deadheading the flowers after they fade is essential to prevent seed production and ensure the energy goes into bulb development”.

Gardeners should also cut back wallflowers in June which is said to encourage bushier growth and a longer flowering period, particularly among perennial varieties. 

As for bedding wallflowers, after flowering they should be cut back which will help prolong their blooms.
