Product Description
The perfect partner for Begonia Illumination, Begonia Non-Stop is so named because of its prolific flowering characteristics it literally smothers itself in vibrant, brightly coloured double flowers permanently from late April until the first frosts in the autumn.
It is really easy to grow in beds and borders as well as patio containers and has such a good reputation with professional growers it is an almost permanent feature in park displays. This is especially so because the faded flowers drop off without the need for dead-heading making way for fresh flowers without any work required! In your garden the large, slightly upward facing flowers which reach 10-15cm across, will be held on strong stems. They are really weather resistant and will thrive in any conditions from the hottest summer days to typically showery summer weather.
The colour range is stunning with all shades of red, orange, pink, yellow and white included. Perfect for hanging baskets and tubs where the plants can trail.
Supplied as 18 plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Grow on in full sun or partial shaded areas. The sunnier the site, the more vibrant the colours will be.
Care Guide
- Unpack plugs immediately, and stand them in water for an hour.
- If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
- Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post but they’ll quickly recover.
- Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
- When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
- Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
- Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow.
- Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
- Dead-head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.
- Water regularly during the summer - begonias thrive in moist soil.

The begonias that you sold me were the worst plants that I have ever ordered, I put them straight into the bin. They should have never been sent out to any customer. I have been secretary of our Allotment association for over 35 years and I have never seen any plants in that condition.

I love garden bargains. I only buy from them now. Everything I have bought is so healthy. Great condition. Buy for family now too. If you buy anything that has, life time guarantee. And it dies. They replace no problem. Only happened to me once. I would highly recommend. Garden Bargains to everyone.

Beautiful, robust plugs that took well in the garden and produced dozens of flowers (still going strong now!). I've had many plants from Garden Bargains, some good some bad, but these were a real winner!

For garden ready plants they were smaller than expected although this was reflected in the price, I am not able to Pot On so they were planted in tubs. Hopefully they will grow and make a good show.
The compost was rather dry and some of the plants had moved from the cells losing their compost.
