Begonia Pendula Pink Trailing Tubers

Begonia

• Trailing Begonia also known as Pendula Begonias or hanging begonias are dazzling tuberous perennials that will grow to petaled flowers that contrast against dark green foliage. This Summer flowering plant is loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies and popular in UK gardens blooming from June to October. This stunning begonia will add colour and impact to wherever planted growing up to a height of 30 to 40 cm, with a spread between 30 and 60 cm.
• These low maintenance, easy to grow Begonias are perfect for growing in hanging baskets, containers or pots for the garden, patio or balcony but also work well in borders, cottage gardens and low maintenance gardens. Begonia tubers will provide a show all Summer and can be lifted, stored and replanted again the following year. Lifting them should take place before the first frosts, ideally mid Autumn. A light frost won’t cause too much damage but leaving it too late in the season can damage the plant.
• If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
• These tubers are on pre-order for dispatch Early February 2025.
