If you live in an area that has a warm spring, June can seem as though you are halfway through summer already and our garden plants can feel the same. Perennial plants can flower early, mid, or late in the season, and those that bloom earlier in the year can look way past their best by the time June is over.
Deadheading is an important part of plant care and is key to keeping plants looking tidy and encouraging new buds and blooms, extending their season. Over my career as a professional gardener, I have spent many hours cutting back and pruning and share my top seven perennials to cut back in June for a glorious second flush of blooms.
