Begonia ‘Pendula White’ (3 tubers)

Make a statement in your garden and light up shadier spots with the spectacular white hanging blooms of Begonia ‘Pendula White’. Happy in lower light conditions, this bright perennial will look idyllic in a window box or hanging basket with its cascading white blooms resting gracefully from thin flexible stems. It is also long flowering, blooming from June through to September and is the perfect neutral base for a summer garden or pathway.

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.
