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.
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.
