Begonia are gorgeous alternative flowering and foliage plants for semi-shaded to shaded garden areas. Ideal for baskets either grown on its own or as a mixed planting. Sales are spring through to autumn.
Begonia Summerwings performs best in outdoor shade, part shade or sun. They can be used in garden beds, but are spectacular in pots, window boxes and hanging baskets.
The plant will go into a dormant stage through the cooler months. Store by putting the pot on its side so the bulb does not get too wet. Repot in the spring, use a complete fertiliser and keep moist but not over wet. Remove spent flowers to encourage new ones to form. Liquid fertiliser every four to six weeks during spring, summer and autumn. With some extra care a great result is the reward.
