Spring and autumn work well for most planting in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire, Berkshire and greater London. These seasons let plants establish roots before summer heat or winter frosts hit. Avoid starting in peak summer to dodge dry spells that stress new installations. If you do plant in summer we would highly recommend regular watering.
