What to Plant in July Uk
Your garden shouldn’t be all work and no play. July is a fantastic month for sowing annuals that will flower right into autumn. Think of it as a final party before the clocks change.
Nasturtiums
These are the confetti throwers of the garden. Sow them directly into poor soil—they love neglect—and they’ll bounce back with vibrant orange, red, and yellow blooms. Bonus: the leaves and flowers are edible, with a peppery kick that makes a salad feel rebellious.
Cultural reference: Nasturtiums were Victorian-era symbols of conquest. Plant them now, and conquer your garden with zero effort.
Calendula (Pot Marigold)
Calendula is the cheerleader of the flower patch. It blooms non-stop if you deadhead regularly. The petals are also antibacterial and can be used in homemade salves. Think of it as a beauty product you grew yourself. Very cool.
