It’s Not Too Late to Plant Your Dream Garden!
From your friends at Fran’s Flowers
If June has snuck up on you and your garden still looks more “to-do” than “ta-da,” don’t worry—you’re not behind, you’re right on time. At Fran’s Flowers, we meet customers every day who think they’ve missed the planting window. The truth is: you haven’t. There’s still plenty of time to plant a garden you’ll love all summer long.
In fact, some of the best plants for bold summer color, fresh harvests, and pollinator-friendly beauty thrive when planted in June.
🌞 Heat-Loving, Fast-Growing Plants to Try Now
Annuals That Love the Heat:
Look for sun-lovers like zinnias, marigolds, cosmos, petunias, and calibrachoa. These bloomers grow fast and keep flowering through the heat of summer—all they need is regular water and a little fertilizer.
Perennials That Settle In Fast:
Coreopsis, salvia, rudbeckia, daylilies, and echinacea are summer champs that will bloom this season and come back even stronger next year.
Quick Veggie Wins:
June is prime time to plant bush beans, cucumbers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, hot peppers, and herbs like basil and dill. These grow quickly in warm soil and give you a fast harvest.
🛠️ Tips for Starting Strong (Even in June)
-
Prep the soil with compost or organic matter to help roots settle quickly.
-
Water deeply after planting—and regularly as plants establish.
-
Use mulch to keep moisture in and weeds out.
-
Pick the right spot—make sure your sun-lovers get 6+ hours of sunlight.
