Begonia Non-stop Flowering ‘Pink’ is a vigorous tuberous perennial that will produce masses of fully double rose-esque pink blooms stretching up to 10cm/4″ across, appearing all the way from late spring through to the first frosts.
Hot weather resistant, ‘Non-stop’ begonias are among the best selling begonias in the world and are easy to grow and care for, coping well in the shade and flowering for such a long period.
They are ideal for brightening up a darker spot or recess of your garden and deserve a spot in any bed, border, window box, container, and hanging basket.
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.
