Bedding Plug & Plant Sizes

Bedding plants – more info

Growing bedding plants from plug plants is an easy way to a summer full of colour. Got a sunny spot? Go for geraniums, the Mediterranean favourites. Need something for a shady site? Our coleus mix is shade-tolerant, and Lobelia ‘Monsoon’ prefers to be out of direct sun.

You can find a wealth of advice in our bedding plants articles, or see the FAQs below.

Which bedding plants are best for hanging baskets?

Any of our trailing plants will make a dramatic display in a hanging basket. Try Lobelia ’Cascade Improved Mix’, or Geranium ‘GeRainbow™ Mixed’. Another good choice is Petunia ‘Amore™ Queen of Hearts’.

Which bedding plants are good for pollinators?

Many of our bedding plug plants will help benefit pollinators in your garden. Try Verbena bonariensis, Dahlia ‘Figaro Mixed’, or Echinacea purpurea ‘Primadonna Mixed’.

Which bedding plants will give a long season of colour?

Petunias and geraniums are among our top choices for weeks of flower – just remember to feed and water regularly and keep deadheading them to prolong the display.
