Winter bedding plants from Blooming Direct

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Blooming Direct has a good selection of really pretty plants you’ll love having in your winter beds and tubs. Get them ordered today and start planning how fantastic your winter garden will look. Pick any of these amazing pretty plants and you’ll get lots of colour in the garden this winter.
Plant up a couple of tubs either side of your front door so everyone who comes to see you this winter will see how fantastic a gardener you are! Tubs are easier to water than hanging baskets too – but you can indulge in some winter hanging baskets if you want. Always put plenty of plants in – it’s better to have a crowded basket than one which looks empty. Use some water retaining gel too as it’ll help the plants stay well watered.
Winter bedding is cheap and gives you tons of colour. Buying a multi pack offers you a wide variety of plants for not a lot. If you want several different flowers then team up with a neighbour and then you can share the plants and both have great looking gardens.
