The production and marketing period for bedding plants, particularly annuals, is primarily in the spring. This period corresponds with the time when many gardeners begin planting and landscaping, as the danger of frost typically diminishes and temperatures become conducive to planting. Spring marks the peak demand for annual bedding plants as they provide vibrant color and enhance outdoor spaces after the dormant winter months.

During this time, nurseries and garden centers ramp up their stock of annuals to meet the needs of consumers eager to beautify their gardens, patios, and landscapes. The marketing efforts are also heightened in spring, as businesses promote their offerings to capture the attention of gardeners preparing for the growing season. Consequently, production is primarily geared towards getting these plants ready for sale in conjunction with this peak demand during the spring season.
