Begonias Large Flowered Yellow
B3504
Description
The big, fully double flowers of this striking begonia could not fail to bring sunshine on even the dullest of days. Bold, lemon-yellow flowers bloom for months on end, smothering lush, dense green foliage.
Begonias are a top choice for container planting for a host of reasons – long-flowering, easy-to-grow and tolerant of most conditions, not to mention the show-stopping flowers.
Bring life to vintage containers, urns, pots and hanging baskets with begonias for a cheerful display from May onwards.
Care Guide
Begonia tubers should be started in March or April, in a cold frame or greenhouse.
Choose a pot with a 20cm diameter and several holes in the bottom for drainage. Fill it with rich, good quality compost, leaving a 5cm gap from the rim. Plant your Begonia tuber with the hollow side uppermost, ensuring it sits 2.5cm below the soil surface. Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Place the pot undercover, in a shaded area with temperatures around 18-24°C and shoots will soon start to appear.
Once the danger of frost has passed, usually around the beginning of June, Begonias can be planted out.
Begonias will reach a height of 30-45cm, boasting vibrant, showy blooms ideal for patio containers and hanging baskets.
In October, lift the tubers, remove faded foliage and store in a frost-free place, in dry compost or wood shavings.
