Discover our range of bedding plants, true eye-catchers for any garden, balcony, or patio. Their profusion of blooms and varied colors provide a long-lasting display of flowers from spring well into autumn.
At Easyseeds you will find a wide range of flower seeds for bedding plants, ideal for growers, florists and wholesalers who want to surprise their customers with strong, colorful plants.
Bedding plants are usually annuals that germinate, flower, and set seed in a single growing season. They die back after the first frost, meaning they need to be sown again every year. This is precisely what makes them so popular: you can create new color combinations each season and capitalize on trends. Well-known examples include petunia , marigolds (Tagetes), lobelia, begonia, and busy lizzies (Impatiens). There are also special varieties that give your collection a unique look, such as nicotiana, salvia, and cosmos.
For growers, bedding plants offer the advantage of being relatively quick to grow and often ready for sale within a few weeks to months. This makes them commercially attractive and suitable for both small-scale and large-scale production.
Bedding plants are distinguished by several important characteristics:
Long-lasting blooms. Most varieties bloom from May to October. A nice, long bloom!
Lots of variety. There's a wide selection of countless colors, flower shapes, and heights.
Versatile in use. This bedding plant is perfect for borders, flower boxes, hanging baskets, and, of course, flowerbeds.
Easy to sow. Bedding plants are very easy to plant, both indoors and directly in the ground.
Widely applicable. They are very popular with private individuals, municipalities, and landscapers.
For florists and wholesalers, this means that bedding plants are always in demand and easy to sell to a wide audience.
Home gardeners often use bedding plants to quickly add color to their gardens. For professional growers, the focus is more on reliability, uniform growth, and long shelf life. That's why we at Easyseeds collaborate with breeders who offer varieties specifically suited for mass production. These varieties often have better disease resistance, a predictable flowering time, and high germination rates, which limits the risk of loss.
Bedding plants are attractive to wholesalers because they're easy to transport and store. By offering a wide range, they can meet the demand from both garden centers and landscaping companies who are eager to offer their customers something colorful and affordable.
Sowing time: Sow most varieties indoors from February or March. Once the plants are strong enough and the risk of frost has passed, you can plant them out.
Light and warmth: Young seedlings need sufficient light and a constant temperature of 18–22 °C.
Fertilization: Bedding plants are ravenous bloomers. Regular fertilization ensures abundant and long-lasting blooms.
Watering: Prevent plants from drying out, especially in pots or hanging baskets. Good drainage is crucial.
Remove dead flowers: this encourages the plant to produce new flowers.
These simple care tips will keep bedding plants attractive for months and provide great pleasure for both growers and end customers.

Most bedding plants are sown indoors in February or March. Once the seedlings are strong enough and there's no longer any risk of frost, they can be planted outside.
Species such as petunia, begonia, lobelia and marigold (Tagetes) are known for their long-lasting flowering period and provide colour in the garden from June to October.
Water regularly, remove spent flowers, and fertilize weekly for abundant and continuous blooms. Good drainage is important in planters and pots.
Most bedding plants aren't winter-hardy and die back after the first year. To ensure new blooms, you'll need to sow or plant them again every spring.
Begonias, fuchsias, and impatiens (busy lizzies) are ideal for shady spots. They also flower without full sun.
