Most bedding plants quickly produce a mass of colour, primarily in Spring, Summer or early Autumn (depending on the variety!) and are therefore ideally suited for transforming an otherwise dull border in a very short period of time.

Gardeners love bedding plants because of their instant seasonal colour. They are useful for filling gaps between plants and shrubs that aren't fully grown, for growing in containers or planting up a whole bed for immediate effect. They also grow quickly and provide excellent value for money
