Hey Wilmington neighbors! ๐๐ฑ
Think itโs too late to get your hands dirty in the garden? Think again!
Even though June is rolling in, there is still plenty of time to get planting. Out here in Zone 8 (that's us!), this is actually the perfect moment to sow heat-loving seeds and introduce summer-ready blooms that absolutely thrive in our Carolina sunshine. โ๏ธ
Here is what you can confidently plant right now:
โจ Direct Sow from Seed:
๐๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐๐ฌ โ Super fast, incredibly colorful, and perfect for fresh-cut bouquets.
๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ฌ โ Towering, cheerful, and our local pollinators absolutely love them.
๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ โ Airy, delicate blooms that handle the heat like champs and attract butterflies.
๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ โ Gorgeous pest-repelling beauties that will stay bright all summer long.
๐๐ค๐ซ๐, ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ, & ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฌโ Because edible gardens count too! (And nothing beats fresh summer basil).
๐ง ๐๐ถ๐ช๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ฑ๐ด:
To give your new green babies the best start, remember to water deeply, especially during their first two weeks. Toss down a good layer of mulch to lock in that moisture and protect their roots from heat stress.
๐๐ซ๐จ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฉ: Avoid planting during the midday scorching heat. Early morning or late afternoon is much kinder to your plants (and you!).
