Description

Our best seller Begonia ‘Apricot Shades’ was already top of its class, but why stop there? Our breeders began hand-blending an even better mix to give you a wider range of colours and twice as many picotee-edged flowers.

Begonia ‘Apricot Shades Improved’ delivers an abundance of flower power that will brighten your garden from July to October. The large, double blooms cascade from trailing stems in an impressive display. This versatile variety thrives in sun or shade, resisting our changeable summer weather with ease. Plant them in baskets, window boxes, flower pouches and containers – in fact anywhere that’s needs a bold splash of summer colour. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 45cm (18").

How to Grow
Tubers are ideal for containers and baskets, making a larger plant in the first year than plug plants or growing from seed. From February, start tuberous begonias off in well-drained, moist compost in a warm, frost-free position in bright light. When planting begonia tubers, position them just below the compost surface with the indented side facing upwards. In hanging baskets the tubers can be planted at a 45 degree angle with their roots toward the centre, to encourage plants to cascade over the sides of the basket. When begonia plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days, before planting 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 the single female begonia flowers to encourage more of the large double male flowers to be produced and to extend the flowering period.
