When to Plant Bedding Plants in Suffolk

  • Winter bedding: Plant September–October (pansies, violas, primroses, cyclamen).
  • Summer bedding: Plant from mid-May (after frost risk) for best results.
  • Hanging baskets: Plant winter baskets in September to October, and summer baskets from mid-May. For summer baskets, remember to water daily in warm weather; feed fortnightly for continuous bloom.

How to Grow Bedding Plants for a Stunning Garden

  1. Prepare soil: Remove weeds, improve with fresh compost, and level the surface.
  2. Handle gently: Tap seedlings from trays; plant at the same depth and firm in.
  3. Water well: Soak after planting; keep pots and baskets consistently moist.
  4. Feed & deadhead: Liquid feed every 1–2 weeks; remove spent blooms to extend flowering.
  5. Aspect: Most summer bedding likes sun; many winter choices perform in partial shade.
