From Booklist:

In this enlarged and updated book, Hessayon defines a bedding plant as one that is moved at the leafy stage to its place in the garden or in a container, where it provides a display for a limited period. He describes the six types of bedding plants, offers a short history of them (they date from the sixteenth century), and gives advice on buying and raising. There's an A-to-Z listing of 145 plants, each listing giving data on the plant's color, flowering period, size, varieties, light and soil requirements, and method of propagation. And each contains a color photograph of the plant. Also, there are chapters on using bedding plants and on color schemes, plant care, and pests and diseases. George Cohen
