Alcea Rosea

what are the main uses of the following bedding plants?

Alcea rosea (Hollyhock)
Bellis perrenis
Antirrhinum majus
Impatiens
Tagetes patula
I mean their use, function, position etc in a bed

Alcea rosea (hollyhock) is a tall biennial that is used as an annual. It blooms from late spring to summer. You would use it in the back of the bed in full sun. It comes in many colors and is really pretty. It blooms in summer and gets over 4 Feet Tall.

Bellis perennis (English daisy, lawn daisy) is a low growing perennial. As the name implies, it does grow nicely in lawns. Some view it as a weed, my mom transplants them all over her lawn. It's low growing and spreads if left alone. You would use it in the front of the bed in sun to part shade.

Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon) is a mid sized short-lived perennial. It blooms in spring and continues to frost. You can use in the mid of the border, after the low growing ones and before the tall ones and it gets anywhere from 1-3 feet in height. It likes full sun and comes in a wide range of colors. It does best in cooler summer conditions so I suppose it would do fine in part shade in those areas.

Impatiens, there are a lot of plants in this genus. The most common are the shorter bedding types which is Impatiens walleriana. It is a perennial that is grown and treated as an annual in most areas. This gets 1/2-2 feet in height so it's prime for the front of the bed. It blooms in late spring to frost and need part shade to shade.

Tagetes patula ( French marigold) is an annual that likes full sun. In hot summer areas, part shade is best. It's great for the border where it blooms from late spring to frost. They get around 1/2-1 feet in height so use in the front of the border. It's found mainly in reds, oranges and yellows but creamy ones are now found too.

Hope this helps.
