Product Description
Our pre-planted 'Apricot Shades' begonia baskets are guaranteed to give you fabulous results as we've done all the work for you - just hang them up, water them and let them do their thing.
Quick and easy, this is the perfect solution for gardeners who want perfect displays but don't know where to start, or for those who are behind with their plans.
Ready planted with the UK's favourite basket begonia, this pair of ready-made baskets will give you outstanding results right through until the autumn - plus you'll have the baskets to use again next year!
'Apricot Shades' produces blousy, double-blooms in wonderfully warm shades of yellow, gold, apricot, orange and ochre that will fill your hanging baskets with colour all summer-long. 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 - which is why we've selected them for these orange baskets - one for the garden must-have list for sure!

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 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.
- Hang in a sunny or semi shaded position that is protected from strong winds.
- Take care not to over-water, as this will cause new begona flower buds to drop.
- Larger flowers are produces when the smaller female flowers are removed.

Would have given a higher score but unfortunately the size of plants in each basket was very noticeably different as well as the colours not being as described.Product:

The order was delivered but I was not informed it had just been left in an open porch area. I only discovered it after reading an email saying it had been delivered. I read this email at 9.45PM.
I was not impressed at all. I am housebound so I was in but my doorbell was NEVER rung.
When I opened the box the plants were in full bloom but must both were squashed and damaged. The soil was all over the place. So after rescuing the baskets and putting them in water I had to Hoover my kitchen. By this time it was 10.30 PM.
So overall, no I wasn?t impressed and won?t be ordering again.
