Camelia, Pink & White Double Begonia Mix
B3507
Description
A pretty duo of ruffled begonias for filling summer pots and baskets. The double begonias in this bountiful mix resemble rosette-like camellia flowers.
Blooming endlessly from May to September, in soft shades of rose-pink and fresh, crystal white.
Begonias thrive in soil enriched with leaf-mould, in a spot in light shade.
An excellent choice for creating eye-catching, floriferous hanging baskets and glamorous garden pots, spilling over with colour. A bed of lush, serrated green foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the froth of flowers.
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.
