Planting flowers in June?

[questionnnn]

Hey everyone, I've not long moved house and the garden has no plants or flowers in. I'm looking to get to the garden centre by the end of June but am now thinking is it too late to plant anything? I have no idea about gardening so need no hassle low maintenance ideas. I like sunflowers and peonies, is it too late for these? Any ideas of things I can plant late June would be appreciated!!

You can plant anything but you’ll have to be really, really on the ball with watering.

I’ve killed many new plants by planting them in June/July/August and underestimating how much water is needed in the heat.

You may still be able to find sunflower plants for sale but any peony you buy won’t flower until next year as peonies are spring flowering plants

You might find some real bargains as it is late in the season. Water everything well before planting, leave to take in the water, then plant in the cool of the evening.

Of course you can buy/plant now

Gardening is all year round, garden centres are full of various plants right now

This. Get a load of annual plants (the ones where you get a six-pack of instant colour like marigolds or petunia) and put those in for now. You can get them in all sorts of places - supermarkets, Home Bargains, etc. They are the "fast fashion" of gardening.

Then take a while to properly think and plan for the future. The best time for putting in the more permanent plants is Autumn so it gives you a few months to research.
