Most annuals, like Begonia ‘Nonstop Mixed’ and the Petunia ‘Frills & Spills’ Collection, flower from late spring through to the first autumn frosts if deadheaded and regularly watered. While flowering, keep them looking good using a balanced liquid fertiliser every 10–14 days, and remove any spent blooms. Choose the best annual bedding for your needs with our guide to getting the best from annual borders and see the frequently asked questions below.
Many of our annual bedding plants are great for beginners. Easy-to-grow options include Marigold ‘French Vanilla’, Petunia ‘Frenzy Mixed’, and Busy Lizzie ‘Beacon Mix’ which are all reliable performers that don’t need much maintenance.
For the hottest parts of your garden, look for sun-loving varieties like Gazania ‘Red Shades’, Calibrachoa ‘Million Bells Mix’, and Petunia ‘Back to Black’. These thrive in warm, sunny spots and produce striking, long-lasting blooms. Calibrachoas and gazanias are also some of the most drought-tolerant options, once the plants are well established.
Shady gardens don’t need to miss out. Try Busy Lizzie ‘Beacon Raspberry Sundae’ and Begonia semperflorens ‘Organdy Mixed’ if you have light shade or dappled sun. Both are good options for north or east-facing beds and containers.
