With a true cascading habit, this colourful mix will leave your hanging baskets, containers, and Flower Pouches® literally overflowing with rainbows of colour all summer long. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Here's the very latest in hassle-free gardening; our pre-planted basket. So what could be easier hanging baskets which are already planted up? We've taken the hard work out of creating wonderfully colourful displays - just order our pre-planted baskets of your favourite varieties and position them where you'll most enjoy their summer colour. Then all you need to do is water them and wait! Each young plant is effectively 3 plants pre-planted into one plug!

Standard Hanging basket diameter: 27cm (11in). Basket capacity: 7.6 litres.
Premium Hanging basket diameter: 36cm (14in). Basket capacity: 9 litres.
Please note basket style may vary.

Culinary note: Add the bright coloured petals to sandwiches or salads for a light lemon taste and crisp texture. For more details about edible flowers click here.

How to Grow

Begonia plugs can be planted straight into Flower Pouches™, but are best potted on first and grown on in bright, frost-free conditions if to be displayed in baskets, window boxes or pots. They can be transplanted into their final containers once they have increased in size. When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise Begonia 'Illuminations' Mixed to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days, before placing them in their final positions. Choose a sunny or semi shaded position that is protected from strong winds.

More Info

Feed and water begonia plants frequently throughout the growing season taking care not to over-water, as this will cause new begonia flower buds to drop. Deadhead faded begonia flowers regularly to extend the flowering period and encourage more blooms to be produced.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
