Flowers garden job checklist - week 45
4 - 10 November 2013
It's time to...
Cut late-summer-flowering clematis right down to soil level
Divide congested clumps of perennials
such as asters, campanulas, rudbeckias and chrysanthemums after flowering
Plant bare-rooted roses
Dig up and
compost exhausted summer bedding
Plant out wallflowers
, interspersing with taller-growing tulips
Pile a thick mulch
of compost or bark around hardy fuchsias to protect them from frost
Move shrubs
, including conifers and evergreens, that have outgrown their position
Pot up tender perennials from summer displays to bring under cover for winter protection
Pick leaves affected by rose blackspot
and collect any lying on the ground nearby
Cut down perennials whose seedheads aren't worth keeping, digging in compost around them
