Early summer is when our gardens are just getting into their stride, so the thought of cutting plants back can feel counterintuitive. But give key plants a light prune now, and your garden will look all the better for it, so knowing which perennials to cut back in June is a must.
Perennials grow quickly in spring as temperatures rise and daylight hours increase, and this year’s unseasonably warm weather sees our outdoor spaces already bursting with colour. Cutting back long-flowering perennials now will not only ensure that plants remain compact and less likely to need support but will encourage fresh foliage and late summer flowering too.
