June is a wonderful month for Minnesota gardeners. The days are long, temperatures are rising, and your garden is bursting with life. Keeping your garden in top shape requires some timely pruning. Here's a guide to what you should focus on pruning early in June to keep your garden healthy and flourishing.
Did you know properly timed pruning encourages more vibrant blooms next year? Hold off on pruning spring-flowering plants until they have fully bloomed.
Spring-flowering shrubs such as lilacs, forsythias, and weigelas should be pruned soon after they finish blooming. Pruning them right after the blooms fade ensures you don't cut off next year's flower buds.
Evergreen shrubs, such as arborvitae and junipers, can be lightly pruned in June, but major pruning should be done earlier in Spring. Light pruning helps maintain their shape and prevents them from becoming overgrown.
June is an ideal time to prune hardy roses like 'William Baffin' and 'Therese Bugnet', which thrive in Minnesota's climate. Pruning encourages continuous blooming throughout the summer.
Certain perennials that do well in Minnesota, such as peonies and irises, benefit from deadheading and removing spent blooms in June. Late-flowering perennials, such as asters and sedums, should be pruned in the fall rather than in June. This timing ensures they have a full growing season to develop their blooms and prepare for winter.
Consider washing pruning shears between uses to help prevent the spread of diseases and pests. It's a simple but effective practice to maintain the health of your garden.
Major hedge pruning should be done in late winter, but June is a suitable time for shaping and maintenance.
Formal hedges, such as boxwood or privet, can be trimmed early inn June to maintain their shape and size.
Pruning in June helps your plants stay healthy, encourages new growth, and keeps your garden looking its best. Remember to use clean, sharp tools and make precise cuts to avoid damaging your plants. Happy gardening, and enjoy the beauty of your well-maintained Minnesota garden all summer long!
