Begonia Fairyland Mixed is a non-hardy perennial plant, meaning it cannot tolerate temperatures below 13°C (55.4°F). It is known by its Latin name Begonia x semperflorens Fairyland Mixed. This hybrid Begonia variety is typically grown as an annual. It has been specially selected for its exceptional vigour and abundant, long-lasting summer and autumn flowering of small semi-double flowers. Its vibrant colors brighten up beds and borders. Begonia Fairyland Mixed is a top-quality plant at a very low cost.
This upright and bushy Begonia reaches a height of 25cm (10in) and a width of 30cm (12in). Its round leaves, measuring 10-12cm (4-5in), are slightly toothed and have a beautiful satin-like green color.
From July to October, a profusion of flowers covers a large part of the foliage. The flowers are large, solitary, semi-double rosettes measuring 1-3cm (0.5-1in) in diameter, and they come in red, pink, white, or bicolored (white and pink).
Originally, Begonias thrive in damp, shaded environments, protected from direct sunlight. However, this magnificent Begonia variety can also thrive in full sun or in a shaded area.
Its bushy habit is ideal for flowering beds, pots on the terrace, and containers on balconies and windowsills.
Cultivate Begonia Fairyland Mixed in pots, containers, or beds, in rich and moist soil. It is a semi-hardy perennial plant that is susceptible to temperatures below 13°C (55.4°F). Therefore, it should either be treated as an annual plant or brought indoors in autumn and kept in a heated greenhouse or conservatory until the following spring.

Botanical data
Attention: Begonia seed is very small, carefully open the packet on two sides with a pair of scissors.
Sow Begonia semperflorens Fairyland Mixed from January to March in a seed tray. Use a good quality soil mixed with a third sand; a mixture that you will sift on the surface to bind the seed to its substrate. Before sowing, lightly press the substrate with a board and moisten it lightly, preferably by immersing the base of the seed tray in a water bucket so that the water is absorbed by capillary action. Sow your seeds delicately. Do not cover the seeds. Place your seed tray in light, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 25°C to 27°C.
The seeds will germinate in 15 to 60 days. As soon as the plants are manageable, transplant them into 7cm (3in) buckets. Keep the soil moist but not excessively during growth; water with a fine mist or with a small hand sprayer. Once the plants are strong enough, transplant them into 15cm (6in) diameter pots or directly into your planters, which you should always keep warm (20-24°C). Finally, 15 days before their final placement, start gradually acclimating them to a temperature of 15°C.
In late May or early June, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant your young plants. Choose a shaded or sunny location. When planting in a bed, add a good shovel of compost to each planting hole. Space your plants at least 20cm (8in) apart.
Regularly remove faded flowers to maintain their beauty and promote renewal.
In autumn, bring the pots indoors to a veranda or heated greenhouse, or wait for the first frost and bury the begonias during deep digging.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
