Which of the following is NOT one of the three greenhouse production categories?

• A. Bedding plants
• B. Landscape shrubs
• C. Potted flowering plants
• D. Cut-flowers

Answer: (B)

In greenhouse production, crops are usually grouped by their end use and turnover: bedding plants, potted flowering plants, and cut flowers. Bedding plants are grown for seasonal color in beds and containers and are kept in production for a short time before being sold for immediate display. Potted flowering plants are sold in pots for home or ornamental use, with a focus on flowering inside the pot. Cut flowers are stems harvested for arrangements and not sold as finished potted plants. Landscape shrubs, while they can be grown in controlled spaces, are woody perennials intended for outdoor landscapes and typically require longer production cycles and different handling. They’re not part of the three common greenhouse floriculture categories described above. So the item that doesn’t fit is landscape shrubs.
