Introduction

Bedding plants provide a quick way to add color and interest in your yard or garden. These annuals can be grown from seed or nursery plants, and they typically bloom during the spring and summer months. The word “bedding” comes from the fact that these plants are often planted in rows like bedding on a farm! In addition to providing beautiful flowers, bedding plants also make it easier for you to change out your landscaping each season without having to start from scratch each time.

Bedding plants are an inexpensive and fast way to add color and interest to a garden.

Bedding plants are an inexpensive and fast way to add color and interest to your garden. They don’t require any special soil conditions, which makes them perfect for beginners. Bedding plants are also easy to maintain because they can be overwintered indoors or outdoors, depending on the type of plant you choose. In addition, most bedding plants are short-lived perennials that grow from bulbs or rhizomes (a horizontal stem), so you will have plenty of time to enjoy their beauty before they need to be replaced each year.

Indeed, bedding plants can bring color to your garden all season long!

Also called annuals, these plants are grown to become part of the landscape for one growing season only.

As you probably know, annuals are plants that grow and bloom during the same growing season. You can grow them from seed, or buy them as young plants. When the growing season ends, they die; but when spring returns, so too do new seedlings.

Annuals are a great way to add color and texture to your garden: it’s easy to start with some seeds on your windowsill in February and have fresh blooms by April!

They typically flower during the spring and summer months, and often have bright blooms in various shades of red, yellow, and purple.

Most bedding plants are annuals, meaning they only live for one growing season. However, some bedding plants are perennials which means they live for more than two years.

Gardeners used to replant their gardens with new seedlings each spring.

If you are a gardener, you know that growing plants from seed is a lot of work. It’s hard to remember which seeds came from which plant and when they should be planted.

As an amateur gardener myself, I used to replant my entire vegetable garden each spring with new seedlings—a tedious process that took hours of work. But now I’ve discovered a much easier way: growing plants from seed!

With this new method, there are many more options for what kind of plants we can grow in our gardens. For example, if you want to try something different this year and add some color while adding nutrients back into the soil (and who doesn’t?), then consider planting some Bedding Plants! These fast-growing annuals will add color while helping your garden thrive throughout the season!

Starting plants from seed can be difficult for beginning gardeners, so nurseries began providing these young plants for sale instead.

There’s no denying that starting plants from seed can be difficult for beginning gardeners, so nurseries began providing these young plants for sale instead. It’s important to remember that most nursery-raised bedding plants start in the same way as seeds—they just come into the world much faster.

While there are some advantages to buying these pre-planted options from your local nursery (namely convenience and cost), it’s still best to start learning how to grow your own seedlings at home! But if you want a head start on springtime planting, here are some tips on making sure your bedding plant bulbs thrive in their new homes:

• Be sure not to overwater your bulbs when you first transplant them outdoors into their new containers or beds; this will help prevent root rot that leads many potted plants into an early death. If there is too much moisture around their roots, they may rot before they even get a chance at life!
• The soil should be moist but not waterlogged; if it’s too wet then add more dry material such as compost or sand until it feels slightly damp just under the surface when pressed lightly with fingers but doesn’t stick together like cake batter does when dropped from height onto surface below (*cough* cake *cough*).

These days, bedding plants are readily available in all areas of the country at grocery stores, garden centers and home improvement stores.

These days, bedding plants are readily available in all areas of the country at grocery stores, garden centers and home improvement stores. You can also buy them online. Some varieties of bedding plants are available as seeds, but most are grown from seedlings.

Bedding plant varieties usually include annuals and perennials that will bloom for about two weeks before dying off for the season (hence the term “bedding”). The most common types include pansies or violas; zinnias; marigolds; petunias (both single-colored or bicolored); and Impatiens wallerana (often called “busy lizzie”).

For example, petunias are attractive flowering annuals that grow well in most climates.

Petunias are a popular bedding plant. They grow well in most climates and are easy to care for. Petunias are also a good choice for beginning gardeners because they’re hardy plants that don’t require much maintenance.

Marigolds grow well in the hot sweltering climates of Louisiana and Florida as well as southern Texas.

Marigolds grow well in the hot sweltering climates of Louisiana and Florida as well as southern Texas. Marigolds are drought tolerant and will grow in full sun to partial shade. They are excellent for attracting beneficial insects to your garden, making them a great companion plant for tomatoes and peppers. Marigolds can be used as a natural insect repellent by planting them around roses or other plants that you want to protect from pests like aphids or whiteflies!

Other varieties such as pansies work well in colder northern climates while still blooming during the summer months.

Other varieties such as pansies work well in colder northern climates while still blooming during the summer months. They can be planted in the fall and will bloom in spring. The plants are sturdy, low maintenance and easy to grow. Pansies are hardy plants that can survive in a wide range of temperatures, making them ideal for northern gardens where winters last long and summers only last a few weeks each year.”

However, some bedding plant varieties may not survive a blistering desert climate or thrive in swampy terrain.

There are several plants that do well in hot, dry climates or wet swampy places. They include:

• African violets (Saintpaulia)
• Angel’s trumpet (Brugmansia)
• Armeria maritima and Armeria pseudarmeria (thrift)
• Begonia semperflorens

However, some bedding plant varieties may not survive a blistering desert climate or thrive in swampy terrain. If you live in an area that is too hot for your plants to grow, try growing them indoors under artificial light or sunless window boxes outfitted with grow lights which will help keep them alive until they can be transplanted outdoors again.

For example, impatiens grow well in partial or dappled shade but do not like to be baked by direct afternoon sun or left soaking in water after a heavy rainfall.

Impatiens, for example, grow well in partial or dappled shade but do not like to be baked by direct afternoon sun or left soaking in water after a heavy rainfall.

Even though these flowering plants die at the end of the year, you will definitely enjoy them while they live!

There are many reasons why you should consider growing bedding plants in your home garden. First, they are easy to grow and maintain. You can plant them in containers or the ground and they will grow well in most climates, weather conditions and seasons. You can also plant them at any time of year: spring, summer or fall!
