Many plants for the garden and home are raised in gentle warmth in greenhouses. For details of individual plants, see the A–Z of propagating plants (pages 42–78).

• Half-hardy annuals (for later planting into beds and borders): These are sometimes known as summer-flowering bedding plants and include Begonia semperflorens (Wax Begonia), Lobelia erinus (Edging Lobelia) and Lobularia maritima (Sweet Alyssum).

• Indoor flowering pot plants: These are plants for home decoration, including Calceolaria x herbeohybrida (Slipper Plant), Primula malacoides (Fairy Primrose) and Pericallis x hybrida (Florist’s Cineraria).

• Culinary herbs: There is a wide range to choose from, including Ocimum basilicum (Sweet Basil), Origanum majorana (Sweet Marjoram) and Myrrhis odorata (Sweet Cicely). Some herbs can also be sown outdoors.
