Winter or summer colour
September and October are great months for planting bedding plants, whether you’re looking to add winter or summer colour to your garden.
On the Gardening Direct website, you’ll find bedding plants you can plant now which will either flower through the winter or in summer. So, no matter when you want colour in your garden, now’s the perfect time to do your preparation.
Winter bedding plants
Pansy Solar Flare
Brighten up your garden in winter with Pansy Solar Flare, which will produce an abundance of blooms.
A free-flowering variety with a uniform habit and exceptional overwintering ability, this colourful pansy will definitely brighten up your borders, patio pots and window boxes.
Plant up until November and you could enjoy flowers from September to March.
Sweet William Vesuvio
This striking sweet william will bloom throughout the autumn and again in spring, and can be planted right up until December.
A hardy variety, Vesuvio will produce an abundance of blooms in vibrant shades of pink, red, purple and white, which will create dazzling displays in your garden borders and patio pots.
It’s perfect for attracting bees and other pollinators to your garden and also makes great freshly cut flowers.
With both of the above bedding plants, you can buy 10 garden ready plants for £14.99. Buy two or more and you’ll get them for £9.49 each, while you’ll pay £6.65 each when purchasing three or more. You can also get 60 medium plug plants for £24.99.
Summer bedding plants
Geranium Himalayense ‘Plenum’
Perfect in borders, this gorgeous geranium produces simply beautiful double ruffled, violet blooms which contrast magically against the deep green and glossy foliage.
The magic doesn’t stop there, however, as the stunning greenery of this geranium turns to a fiery shade of orange-red in the autumn.
A cottage garden favourite, perennial geraniums are a must-have for any garden as they’re very low maintenance and ideal for most growing conditions. They like sun or shade, wet or dry, pots or straight in the ground.
They can be planted now and have a flowering period from April until October.
They’re available in 9cm pots for £9.99.
Primula Pretty Polly Blushing Peach
This is a simply stunning primrose which will fill your garden with beautifully large, fully double blooms which sit proudly above the textured leaves.
The bi-coloured blooms appear in a delicate mix of pale yellow, with layers and layers of petals which are edged in pink to create the perfect contrast to the glossy green foliage.
Primulas are woodland plants so they love shady areas and look wonderful growing underneath shrubs and trees, with their colour making them appear to glow in the dappled light.
A little taller in bloom than a lot of primroses, it also makes a lovely, delicate cut flower.
Reliable perennials which will naturalise easily, they form tight clumps over several years and are an absolute delight when they emerge each spring. Occasionally, they’ll flower for a second time in late summer or autumn.
You can buy three plug plants for £12.99.
