Product Description

Year after Year, Begonia Illumination Apricot Shades features in our Top 3 best-selling bedding and basket plants. Why? It's undoubtedly the combination of fantastic performance in baskets and tubs whatever the Summer weather, combined with the gorgeous blend of warm tones and shades that the mix produces.

This beautiful variety has flowers in wonderfully warm shades of yellow, gold, apricot, orange and ochre that will fill your hanging baskets and patio containers with colour from May until October! The blooms are incredibly weather proof, long lasting and plentiful, held on strong healthy plants with a gently trailing growing habit.

They look best simply on their own, as there is enough subtle colour variation not to look too overdone. One for the short-list for sure.

What Is Supplied

Item 400726 supplied as:
Supplied as 20 Garden Ready Plants. Flowers from late May until first frosts in the autumn. Not frost hardy so keep protected until the last frost. Pot on for 2-4 weeks before planting.

Plant Information

Top Tips

  • You can remove the single female flowers to encourage more of the large double male flowers to be produced if you wish - although we like to leave them on for a fuller display.
  • Deadhead faded blooms to extend the flowering period.

 

Care Guide

  • Begonia ‘Apricot Shades’ grows well in sun and shade, and its trailing habit makes it perfect for growing in pots and hanging baskets.
  • For best results keep plants well watered, and feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser to prolong flowering.
  • Remove faded flowers to encorage more blooms.
  • Garden Ready Begonia plugs can be planted straight into containers and baskets.
  • When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise begonia plants to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days.
  • Choose a sunny or semi shaded position that is protected from strong winds - a cold frame is ideal.
  • Feed and water plants frequently throughout the growing season taking care not to over-water, as this will cause new begona flower buds to drop.
  • Deadhead the single female flowers to encourage more of the large double male flowers to be produced and to extend the flowering period.

Generally good quality, but 3 were not. 2 empty cells and 1 broken at base of stem. Latter may be due to transport - as was the generally scattering of compost within package.

Box delivered & left on its side even though it clearly stated it contained plants & to keep upright. When I opened my parcel half the plants had fallen out of packaging so wasn?t very happy. Understand this is yodel problem & not garden bargains.
Product:
Same as before not pleased with yodel, obviously name change hasn?t improved their service

The plants were damaged. As soon as I took them out of the package most plants broke and the leafs fell off. The plants were too big for the package.It was wast of money.

Great customer services. Problems with how order was packed meant that the plants were damaged. Replacements are being sent
Product:
Box of begonias was packed vertically inside the heavy duty 30l pots I also ordered. This resulted in the plants falling out of their tray and breaking up. A replacement order is being sent.
