Gardening calendar: March jobs

published 12 March 2014

March is when winter turns to spring so start your month propagating and dividing and then get planting as the cold weather becomes milder. It's a great idea to plant your lilies at the end of the month and make sure you look after your snowdrops.

Here's your to-do list for the garden in March:

Propagate perenials

Cut grass

Sow half-hardy annuals

Prune hydrangeas

Plant lilies

Divide snowdrops

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
