Flowers garden job checklist - week 24

10 - 16 June 2013

It's time to...

Use secateurs to remove suckers growing from the stems of standard roses
Tie tall border plants like delphiniums to their supports
Finish planting out dahlias, cannas and summer bedding
Cut back dead and dying foliage on spring bulbs
Deadhead camellias and rhododendrons after flowering
Train clematis shoots to their supports
Feed acid-loving plants with a special liquid fertiliser containing iron, such as sequestrene
Finish dividing hardy primulas
Prune early summer-flowering shrubs like philadelphus and deutzia once the flowers are over
Sow seeds now: wallflowers, sweet Williams, Canterbury bells and forget-me-nots
