These begonias have become stunning. It would be better to plan for a large planter with a trellis espalier as a support.

Description

This large-flowered Begonia grandiflora has significant development, reaching about forty centimetres, and bears large double salmon-coloured flowers.

It looks stunning in shaded areas, whether in a pot or planted directly in the ground. Its fleshy foliage and compact habit make it a popular choice for borders, pots, or hanging baskets.

Our tuberous begonias are delivered as bulbs with a large size of 7+. This size ensures a very good flowering.

Planting and care

Plant your begonias in a shaded or slightly sunny location, in light and moist soil rich in humus. Begonias dislike heavy soils, so lighten them if necessary with some sand. Plant them after the last frost, one per pot of about twenty cm, or spaced 25cm (10in) apart in open ground. Plant the begonia with the hollow side up, and cover with 5cm (2in) of soil. Like Dahlias, you can speed up their growth cycle by planting them as early as February, in a pot, kept sheltered, and then taking them out in May. Water regularly. Apply begonia fertilizer at planting, and then twice a month during the season. Remove faded flowers. Dig up the bulbs before the first frost, and store them in a bit of turf, in a dry and cool place, during the winter.
