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 40 Pro Plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.

Top Tips
Deadhead faded snapdragon flowers frequently to encourage more blooms to be produced.
Care Guide
Planting Advice:
- Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
- 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.
- Plant straight into containers and grow on for a week or two before placing out.
- 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.

Quick & in good condition. Got notification they'd been despatched, so gave me opportunity to get their 'beds' ready. Ordered same last year, unfortunately half package was squashed, so plugs were also the worse for travel. Not this year though.

Their service is great, the plants we purchased are very poor.
Product:
First order came very poor quality, dried out and not all alive. I would say zGarden Bargains replaced straight away. Second order came slightly better condition but still some dead.

quality of the packaging was rubbish giving rise to severely damaged plants on arrival
Product:
plants were good from the nursery but the packaging and delivery completely destroyed them. I salvaged 24 out of 80 plants. I complained to garden bargains and was sent a further 40 replacement plug plants and these were no better than the original order. 16 out of 40 survived the journey. I have now given up on garden bargains
