Do you know what sort of bedding plants? I assume it's the usuals - busy lizzies/begonias/geraniums??

It's where to keep them until nearer to the end of May. My mum says if they go out early and there's a frost they'll die. My MIL has a tale about how the neighbour put them out before my uncle's birthday (at the end of May) and how she lost all of her plants as there were a few ground frosts!

I went to Aldi yesterday and outside were loads of dead seedlings - cauliflowers, tomatoes and lots of other veg. It was freezing so it's not surprising really.

You can always cover them up with some cover for plants if you dont have a GH or cold frame.

Cineraria Silver Dust.
sounds like they are clearing the last of the late winter/ early spring plants out to make way for summer bedding plants.

This offer is still on at least in my local one. I also got some aubretia and some fancy primula for 60p each
