What are Bedding Plants?

Bedding plants are versatile annuals or perennials that are planted in beds, borders, or

containers to provide seasonal colour and interest. They are usually grown in greenhouses

and then transplanted outdoors once the danger of frost has passed (for summer bedding)

or in the cooler months for winter bedding.
