There is still a lot to do

In August there is not much to do in the garden anymore. But you still have to do some things. We have put together a few tasks for you to do in August. Here are our 8 tips:

1. Withered flowers should be cut off regularly so that the flowering shrubs bloom for a long time. Most perennials are thus always new flowers.
2. Hedges should be cut now. But do not do that in the heat of the midday heat.
3. Also for lavender it is time for a light pruning. The shoots are shortened by about 1/3. The big pruning takes place only in the spring.
4. If you have big perennials in the bed, then the best time to share them is now. Dig them and divide them with a spade.
5. If your peonies have grown too big, you can transplant them now. The plant should always divide the plants.
6. Now is planting time for steppe candles, lilies and evergreen trees. You should not forget to water the plants well.
7. Do you have box trees in the garden and do you want to shape them? Then August is the best month for it.
8. Water a lot this month when the month of August is very dry. The plants will thank you with lush flowers.
