Wild
Flower Calendar
June
Many new wild flowers start to
flower this month and most of the flowers from last month will continue
- some of them all summer long. Primroses, Oxlips, Bluebells, Cuckoo Pint,
Snowflakes, Star of Bethlehem and Snakeshead Fritillaries
will probably have finished by now.
Warmer weather can lead to a growth of algae and
blanket weed in your pond as the temperature
of the water starts to rise and before the other plants in the pond have
re-established after the Winter. It will usually clear up within a
few weeks, but if not, barley straw can be used to inhibit the growth of
algae while the pond finds a natural balance. Biennial
Wild Flower
Seeds to flower next year can be sown now, but ensure that the
seeds/seedlings are not allowed to dry out over the Summer eg Evening
Primrose, Foxglove, Teasel. Here
are some June Wild Flowers that we currently stock seeds for. Click on the photograph to buy seeds
