June is an excellent time to rejuvenate your perennial garden. Start by dividing and replanting perennials like Hostas and Daylilies, which can become overcrowded over time. This not only helps to promote healthier growth and more abundant blooms but also gives you the opportunity to spread your favorite plants to new areas of your garden. Be sure to water the newly divided plants well and mulch around them to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Adding compost to your perennial beds can significantly improve soil structure and fertility. Work the compost into the top few inches of soil around your plants, being careful not to disturb their roots. Compost provides a slow-release source of nutrients that will feed your perennials throughout the growing season, resulting in stronger, more vibrant plants. Regularly deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain the neat appearance of your garden.
Shrubs
For spring-flowering shrubs such as Lilacs and Forsythia, early June is the ideal time for pruning. Pruning right after the bloom cycle helps maintain their shape and encourages healthy new growth for the next season. Remove any dead or damaged branches to improve air circulation within the shrub, which can help prevent disease. Also, consider thinning out older branches to allow more sunlight to reach the interior parts of the plant.
Consistent watering is crucial, especially during dry periods. Mulching around the base of your shrubs helps conserve moisture and provides a barrier against weeds. Use organic mulch like wood chips or shredded bark, which will also decompose over time and enrich the soil. Regularly check your shrubs for signs of pests or diseases and treat them promptly to ensure your plants remain healthy and vigorous.
Trees
June is a crucial month for inspecting your trees for any signs of stress, damage, or disease. Look for broken or dead branches and prune them to prevent any potential hazards or the spread of disease. Ensuring that your trees are free from structural issues will help them withstand summer storms. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of your trees, but keep it a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.
Watering your trees deeply and infrequently promotes deep root growth, which helps them withstand drought conditions. Fertilize with a slow-release formula to provide essential nutrients throughout the growing season. This is also a good time to check for any signs of pests, such as unusual leaf discoloration or holes, and address these issues promptly with appropriate treatments.
Lawns
Maintaining a healthy lawn in June requires a balance of proper mowing, watering, and care. Set your mower to a height of about 3 inches to ensure that your grass remains thick and resilient. Cutting your grass too short can stress the plants and promote weed growth. Sharpen your mower blades regularly to ensure clean cuts, which help reduce the risk of disease.
Water your lawn deeply but infrequently, aiming for about 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall. Early morning is the best time to water, as it reduces evaporation and allows the grass to dry before evening, minimizing the risk of fungal diseases. Aerating your lawn, especially in compacted areas, improves root growth and enhances the lawn’s ability to absorb water and nutrients. Regularly check for weeds and use a targeted herbicide to keep them under control.
Start this month by dividing overgrown perennials; this not only helps manage their size and shape but also invigorates the plants, encouraging more robust growth. After division, enrich the soil around both new and existing perennials by adding a healthy layer of compost.
This practice boosts soil fertility, improves drainage, and enhances the overall vitality of your garden. It’s an excellent way to ensure that your perennials continue to bloom abundantly and maintain health throughout the growing season.
Shrubs
May is the perfect time to prune your spring-flowering shrubs right after their blooms have faded. This not only helps to maintain an aesthetically pleasing shape but also promotes healthier, denser growth for the next season.
Additionally, it’s crucial to start a regular inspection routine for pests and diseases; early detection and treatment are key to preventing these issues from damaging your shrubs. Consider an integrated pest management approach that includes mechanical barriers, organic pesticides, and encouraging natural predators.
Trees
Tree care should focus on maintaining structural integrity and overall health. Begin with a thorough inspection, looking for any signs of damage or disease on branches, trunks, and leaves.
Prune away any damaged or diseased limbs to prevent potential hazards and encourage healthier growth. To support their continued growth and resilience, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer around the drip line of each tree. This gradual nourishment complements the natural spring growth spurt, ensuring trees remain robust and well-fed.
Lawn
With the active growth phase of grass in spring, regular mowing becomes essential. Ensure your mower blades are sharp to make clean cuts, which help prevent disease from entering the grass blades.
Set your mower to cut no more than a third of the grass blade height at a time to avoid stressing the grass. If your lawn shows signs of compaction, especially in high-traffic areas, aerating the soil can be highly beneficial. Aerating improves oxygen, water, and nutrient flow to the roots, which helps in developing a lush, healthy lawn.

As the remnants of winter fade and the earth reawakens, early-blooming perennials begin their journey through the last season’s mulch towards the sun’s nurturing warmth. Assist these pioneers by gently clearing the mulch aside, enabling their stems to reach the sunlight more easily.
Despite the hopeful signs of spring in Wisconsin, the threat of frost lingers; keep a supply of mulch ready to protect these tender plants if needed. Now is also the opportune time to divide and relocate perennials that have outgrown their spaces.
Clear away any weeds that have taken hold over the winter and refresh your garden beds with a layer of finely shredded mulch to encourage a healthy start to the season.
Shrubs
As the climate begins to soften, unveil your rose bushes, though remain vigilant and prepared to shield them again should an unexpected chill threaten.
Early spring offers a safe window for transplanting shrubs. Remove weeds to prevent competition for nutrients and moisture, and apply a generous 2-3 inch layer of shredded mulch around the base of your shrubs.
When mulching, ensure it tapers off near the stem to avoid moisture buildup that could lead to disease.
Now is also the perfect time for transplanting any shrubs before their new growth emerges fully.
Trees
An annual inspection of your trees can significantly contribute to their longevity and vitality.
Examine the base for signs of animal activity, which, if minimal, typically heals without issue. However, extensive damage to the bark may compromise the tree’s health. Prune any broken branches or those growing at odd angles to prevent future issues.
With the arrival of consistently warmer temperatures above 40 degrees, apply a dormant spray to crabapple trees to manage pests.
Remember to remove any winter protections, such as wraps or guards, to allow your trees to breathe and grow unencumbered.
Lawn
The April rains, while a boon for blooming flora, can also lead to waterlogging in your lawn, especially in areas where the ground has settled.
Extended saturation may harm the grass, creating unsightly bare patches. Should you notice persistent pooling, consider consulting with Heritage Hill for the installation of discreet underground drainage systems. These innovative solutions divert excess water away from your lawn, preserving its health and aesthetics.
This proactive approach ensures your lawn remains a lush, vibrant foundation for your garden’s beauty.
