Bedding plants are most effective in a garden composition when they combine well with the rest of the plants. This particularly the case when junipers form the heart of a planting design.

While bedding plants are primarily chosen as color elements in the garden, it is worthwhile remembering that they possess other characteristics that inevitably affect, positively or negatively, the overall nature of the design. One cannot ignore their foliage texture and color, or their size, shape and form.

Home gardeners are often disappointed with the performance of their perennial bedding plants and the appearance of their herbs and sub-shrubs. Pruning at the right time is usually the key to successfully growing such plants. At no time is this more important than in the spring.

A commonly held view amongst many home gardeners is that perennial flowering plants in general and herbal plants in particular, require relatively low maintenance, certainly as compared to annual bedding plants. This view is quite mistaken. Herbs such Rosemary or Lavender, Sage and Thyme actually need frequent and regular attention, as do many if not most herbaceous perennials. The principle task involved is pruning. To prevent such plants degenerating into an untidy sprawling mess, regular clipping is required. This is no truer than in the spring, when failure to prune on time often results in the plant not succeeding as a worthwhile garden specimen.

If you want to get the most from your bedding plants, look beyond the question of color, into the form, shape and texture of the plants, and how they fit into the overall garden composition.

Bedding plants, whether annual or perennial, are generally planted to supply color to the garden. This role is most effective when the bedding plants are chosen as part of a specific color scheme, as opposed to being “peppered? around the garden without any clear design purpose. Like all plants however, they also have shape, form and texture. When these properties are taken into account and acted upon, the bedding plants become, as they properly should, an integral and organic part of the overall garden composition.

According to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), violent crime is on the rise. The FBI estimated that over 1.4 million violent crimes occurred in 2006 (the last year for which complete data are available), an increase of almost two percent over the previous year. The Bureau found that aggravated assault topped the list of violent crimes, followed by robbery (31.6 percent) and rape (6.5 percent).
