Continue planting hardy shrubs and trees. Begin pruning overgrowing shrubs etc. which need pruning before flowering. If lawn areas are not waterlogged, consider repairing damaged edges. In mild conditions you can begin pruning roses by the end of Feb. Deciduous hedges can be still cut back. March is ideal to begin weeding borders and mulching, after damping the soil.
Divide border perennials before new growth starts. Complete planting bare root roses, shrubs and trees. Look for bare areas in borders and choose plants to fill gaps. Lightly prune early summer flowering Clematis, removing shoots with no live buds. Cut back hard later flowering Clematis to 3-6 of previous growth. Late March, reseed bare patches of lawn and level hollow areas if weather is suitable.
In dry conditions, look to scarify lawns to remove thatch, and continue through the spring. Plan and sow or turf new lawns if suitable. Cut and box grass once growth reaches 3. Clear worm casts and other debris beforehand. Continue planting hedging plants.
