Begonia Non-stop Flowering ‘Red’ (3 tubers)

Begonia Non-stop Flowering ‘Red’ is an incredible and vigorous bloomer that, as early as late spring, will quickly become smothered in masses of large, bright, double red blooms. Somewhat resembling the charming blooms of a rose, these 10cm/4″ wide flowers are ideal for adding a burst of colour into darker recesses and corners of your garden, growing well in areas of shade and lower light.

Non-stop flowering begonias are ideal for patio containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, or colourful summer garden beds and are extremely easy to grow or care for offering excellent resistance to heat, disease and pests.

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.
