Which of the following is an example of bedding plants?

• A. Tomatoes
• B. Pines
• C. Cucumbers
• D. Marigolds and Petunias

Answer: (D)

Bedding plants are grown primarily for decorative color in garden beds and containers, often as annuals that bloom heavily for a season. Marigolds and petunias are classic examples because they are bred and grown specifically to produce bright, abundant flowers that fill beds quickly and tolerate the conditions of ornamental displays. Tomatoes and cucumbers are cultivated for edible fruit, not ornamental bedding, while pines are trees used for structure and landscaping rather than seasonal bedding color.
