Don’t miss the chance to sow some seeds in July as the warm weather and long days make for the perfect gardening conditions.
Flowers to plant in July that are low maintenancePrimroses
The gardening guru enthused: “Who would be without these little beauties? Primroses love sun or shade and will seed themselves about the garden without ever becoming a nuisance.”
These charming flowers add colour to your garden from June to September and flourish in partial shade with a hint of acidic soil.
Geraniums
Alan said: “Cranesbill geraniums are copper-bottomed ground-cover plants with bright summer flowers that will cope with many inhospitable situations in sun or shade. They die down in winter but spring up afresh each year.”
These blooms will put on a dazzling show if they soak up at least six hours of sunlight each day, and they’re ideal to plant close to your veg patch as they’re great at keeping pesky cabbage worms at bay.
