CASCADING BEGONIA RED

Product information

Begonia cascade produces vivid red double flowers that will really brighten any garden or patio display. Their trailing habit makes them an ideal choice for hanging baskets, patio pots or window boxes. Try mixing them with orange and white varieties to create a really contrasting summer-long effect.

• Plant in a sunny/shaded spot. Lightly press each tuber hollow-side up into multi purpose compost in pots or trays to start them growing. Plant out when the risk of frost has passed. Water well during dry spells. Remove faded flowers to prolong flowering. When the foliage has died back, usually after the first frost, cut stems back to 5cm above soil level. Not winter hardy.
