How to choose the best perennial bedding plants

Perennial bedding is an investment for many years to come. Carefully chosen perennial plants make excellent bedding options, and mean that you don’t need to change your display every year. In fact, these hardworking varieties get better with age and can be lifted and divided to form new plants as they mature. Read our ultimate guide to perennials along with the frequently asked questions below to help you choose the best perennial bedding plants.

Which perennial bedding plants flower the longest?

Many perennial bedding plants offer a long flowering period, but varieties like Agastache ‘Kudos Coral’ and Agastache ‘Poquito Orange’ are standout choices. These drought-tolerant plants bloom from midsummer through to autumn, attracting pollinators and providing colour for many months.

Which perennial bedding plants are best for pots or containers?

Yes, several varieties perform beautifully in pots. Alstroemeria ‘Inticancha Maya Pink Blush’ and Geranium ‘Jackpot Mixed’ are compact and floriferous, making them ideal for containers. Begonia ‘Fragrant Falls™ Duo’ also trails elegantly from hanging baskets and window boxes.

Which perennial bedding plants are best for pollinators?

Bees and butterflies are drawn to nectar-rich plants like Agastache rugosa ‘Peachie Keen’, Echinacea purpurea ‘Primadonna Deep Pink’, and Monarda didyma ‘Balmy Purple’. Planting a mix of these ensures a buzzing, wildlife-friendly display.

Which perennial bedding plants have the best scent?

Agastache aurantiaca ‘Fragrant Mixed’ and Begonia ‘Fragrant Falls Improved™ - Lemon Delight’ are both noted for their scent. Monarda ‘Pink Supreme’ also has aromatic foliage, adding another layer of interest to beds and borders.
