Begonia Non-stop Flowering ‘Yellow’ is a persistent bloomer that will display magnificent and fully double flowers, up to 10cm/4″ across, from late spring, all the way through to the first frosts.
With an aesthetic vaguely resembling roses, these tightly packed orange petals will make a stunning feature in any garden, well deserving of a spot in your beds, borders, window boxes, containers and hanging baskets.
Start the tubers off in late February and plant out in their final spot after the risk of frost has passed. Make sure to use a multipurpose compost in a position of full sun or partial shade.
When planting, position the Begonia tubers just below the compost surface with the hole of the tuber facing up, covering with 3-5cm/1-2″ of compost. Space your tubers about 8-10cm/3-4″ apart, depending on your pot size, or 20cm/8″ apart when planting outside in a garden bed.
