 Trees, shrubs, climbers:

• Prune fast-growing summer-flowering shrubs such as hibiscus by one-third. Also prune oleander, abutilon, abelia and plumbago. Do not prune spring-flowering shrubs until after flowering.

• Fertilise ornamental garden with slowrelease fertiliser. In addition liquid feed heavy feeders such as gardenias.

• Top up mulch on all garden beds.

 

 

Annuals, perennials, bulbs:

 

• Finish planting herbaceous perennials. Divide clumps of agapanthus, clivia, daylily.

• Sow seeds of early-flowering biennials and annuals.
