Commonly Asked Questions
What is the best bedding plant?
While there are many excellent choices, notable options include Begonias for their bold colours, Petunias for continuous blooms, and Pansies for a splash of eye-catching colour. They’re all fantastic for pots, borders, and containers.
What month do you put bedding plants out?
Summer bedding plants should ideally be planted out in late May or early June after the threat of frost has passed. This timing ensures optimal growth and longevity for your plants.
Do bedding plants come back year after year?
While annuals need to be replanted each year, perennial bedding plants can be planted once and will return year after year, offering continuous enjoyment with less effort.
Can bedding plants be perennial?
Absolutely, perennial plants are excellent bedding options and are well-suited for hanging baskets, window boxes, and patio containers, providing lasting beauty season after season.
When should I start bedding plants?
Starting your bedding plants from seeds indoors about six to eight weeks before the last spring frost can be very rewarding and cost-effective, giving you a head start on a lush, colourful summer garden.
