Collins Garden Guide: Annuals and Bedding Plants

by Pat Weaver

There exists a huge range of plants specifically grown to produce a period of flower colour throughout the spring and summer, and (usually) discarded after flowering. Bedding, in horticulture, refers to the temporary planting of fast-growing plants into flower beds to create colourful, temporary, seasonal displays, during spring, summer or winter.[1][2] Plants used for bedding are generally annuals. This informative series of handbooks is planned for easy reference, packed with facts and illustrated throughout in full colour. The authors are all experienced gardeners who write with authority on the possible pitfalls as well as the joys of many different aspects of gardening. Taken together, the books build into an indispensible library which will be referred to on countless occasions by both the newcomer to gardening and those more experienced who are, perhaps, interested in more specialist plants.
