Bedding

Frosts are over - bedding is safe to go out! Keep dead heading bedding plants to encourage more flowering. Nipping back plants when young can also encourage bushier and fuller growth.

Plant out hanging baskets for an abundance of colour. Use a mixture of trailing and upright plants for a mixed basket or create a mass of colour with petunias for example.

Hanging baskets

Apply a lawn fertiliser to encourage healthy growth and keep lawns well watered in hot weather.

Perennials

Support taller growing perennials such as delphiniums, peonies, hollyhocks and Geums as they continue to grow.
