When is planting season in the UK?

Planting season in the UK is spread throughout the year, with different times being ideal for different types of plants and growing conditions. Here’s a general breakdown:

Early Spring (March to April)

Ideal for hardy vegetables like peas, broad beans, carrots, parsnips, radishes, and spinach.
Suitable for planting fruit trees and early-flowering shrubs like roses and lilacs.

Perfect for planting bare-root and container-grown trees as the soil warms and growth begins. Suitable for most tree types.

Mid-Spring (May to June)

Prime time for planting most vegetables, including courgettes, pumpkins, potatoes, lettuce, cabbage, and beetroot.
Good for planting annual bedding plants and summer-flowering shrubs.
Continue sowing seeds indoors for longer-season vegetables like cucumbers and melons.

You can plant specific types of trees like hornbeams and alders as they readily establish roots during this time.

Summer (July to August)

Focus on planting fast-growing vegetables like salad greens, radishes, and herbs for continuous harvesting.

This is a good time to plant container plants and bedding displays for summer blooms.

Ideal for planting bulbs like tulips, daffodils, and crocuses for spring blooms.
