While autumn sees things winding down in the garden, there’s still plenty that needs doing, with tidying-up and trimming-back top of the list. Although the majority of plants require pruning in either winter or spring, there are some that benefit from an end-of-season trim, so these are the plants I’ll be cutting back in October to give my garden a head start for next spring.
‘October is a good time to prune many garden plants in the UK,’ says Julian Palphramand, Head of Plants at British Garden Centres. ‘Pruning helps prepare plants for winter and encourages healthy growth in spring.’
