About Our Spring and Winter Bedding Plants

Our collection includes compact Persian cyclamen in shades of pink, wine red, purple and white, perfect for adding vibrant splashes of colour to containers, winter containers, window boxes and sheltered borders. You will also find classic Primula vulgaris along with special primrose and rosebud forms in a wide palette of whites, yellows, reds, blues and raspberry tones, ideal for edging paths, semi shade spots or mass planting in beds.​

For fragrance and structure, explore perennial wallflowers (Erysimum) such as ‘Winter Passion’, ‘Winter Charm’, ‘Poem Lavender’ and ‘Winter Orchid’, which offer extended flowering and attract pollinators in sunny, well‑drained spots. To complete your displays, mixed violas, Bellis daisies, hyacinths and showy ranunculus in peach, pink, orange and yellow bring additional texture and colour, working beautifully in pots, hanging baskets and mixed seasonal schemes throughout the winter months.​

These are good bedding plants for creating a colourful winter garden, whether you are planting up a small patio, balcony or a larger woodland garden with pockets of seasonal colour. Remember to feed container plants regularly during their flowering season and keep compost just moist to support strong growth and ongoing blooms.​

FAQs

When can I plant winter bedding plants?
In most UK gardens, winter and spring bedding can be planted from autumn through late winter, as long as the ground is workable and not frozen or waterlogged.​ Container displays can be refreshed at any time through the colder months, making sure new plants are firmed in well and watered after planting.
Where should I plant winter and spring bedding plants?
Primroses, violas and Bellis prefer a cool position in sun or light shade with moist but well‑drained soil, making them ideal for borders, path edges and patio pots. Wallflowers and Erysimum varieties perform best in full sun and free‑draining soil, so they are well suited to raised beds, gravel gardens and mixed perennial borders.
How do I keep winter-flowering bedding for longer?
Regular deadheading of faded blooms on primulas, violas, Bellis and wallflowers encourages fresh flowers and keeps displays looking neat.​ Avoid overwatering containers in very wet or cold spells and, if severe weather is forecast, move pots to a slightly more sheltered spot to protect buds and blooms.
