Product Description
Giant Exhibition Begonias are a spectacular sight in the garden when they burst into colour, providing reliable and much bigger and showier blooms in abundance. They will produce fully double blooms over the standard variety, where the flowers are semi-double and smaller. For an amazing cascading effect from baskets, containers and window boxes. This pretty pink variety is certain to create an eye-catching display whether planted alone or mixed with contrasting colours. These enormous cascading double blooms can grow to an impressive 15cm/6in across. They prefer half-sun and a rich moist soil with good drainage. Tubers can be stored over winter and re-used year after year, making begonias fantastic value for money. Flowers June to October. Top size exhibition 5-6cm tubers supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Plant your Begonia tubers in early spring, as long as all threat of further frosts has disappeared. Begonias are incredibly sensitive blooms and need to be protected from harsh cold weather. Tubers can be started indoors as early as February if the weather is too unpredictable. Plant hollow side up, 2cm apart and 2.5cm deep. When leaves begin to appear, plant outside in your desired spot that receives plenty of sunlight. Water regularly during warm and dry weather.
