Flowers garden job checklist - week 11

11 - 17 March 2013

It's time to...

Plant lily bulbs in pots for colourful summer displays
Prune shrub roses to low new shoots
Cut back overgrown honeysuckle stems close to their base, just above new shoots
Trim back old shoots of perennials left for winter interest, taking care not to damage emerging new growth
Prune tall, leggy mahonia by cutting off the leafy rosette at the top of stems to encourage branches to develop below
