Your garden will be awash with color, texture, and activity in August, but it is not too soon to start planning. While your summer days will be filled with watering, deadheading, and simply admiring the blooms, there are proactive steps you can take this month to boost next year’s displays.
That includes sowing hardy annuals, and some biennials, in August that will fill your garden with earlier displays of blooms next spring. Combining sowings this month with further spring sowings can extend the flowering season and give you glorious color for many months.
