Scarlet, White, Yellow & Deep Pink Begonia Pendula Mix
B3652
Description
A vibrant, bold collection of large, pendula cascade begonias which tumble and spill bountifully from summer containers and hanging baskets.
In shades of bright red, yellow, pink, and clear white, the large, ruffled blooms are illuminated by healthy, lush-looking foliage. Layered petals glisten and glitter in dappled sunlight, which is where begonias thrive best.
Begonias flower reliably and in abundance, from May until autumn with very little maintenance. A pot filled with these vivid blooms makes for an eye-catching display and a riot of colour.
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.
