A flowerbed is an element of many gardens. A flowerbed is a garden area especially prepared for growing flowers. The area is typically marked off, often by low-lying structures of brick or similar materials, designed to highlight the flowers and reduce the spread of weeds. These structures can often be elaborate, as in the formal gardens of Shalimar & Nishat or the Taj Mahal.
There are different types of flowerbeds which include different types of plants such as:
- seasonal bedding schemes, containing annuals and biennials such as marigolds, alyssum and lobelia
- herbaceous perennials, containing plants such as delphiniums, lupins and foxgloves
