Bedding Plants (Wisley Handbook)

Bedding plants are essentially those raised and grown in one place and then planted out in an other - the flower bed - for a single season display. After flowering they are discarded and replaced by something else. This book describes all the popular bedding plants in detail and shows how to raise, propagate and plant them. It includes a plant list which gives size, colour, habit, sowing and growing requirements of a range of spring and summer flowering annuals and half-hardy annuals. Cultivars are recommended for colour, size and foliage.
