Begonia 'Double Pink'
£4.19
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between January 10 and January 12.
Begonia 'Double Pink' produces pure pink double blooms that can reach an impressive size, bringing a lush, petal-packed look to shaded patios and summer containers. The blooms are richly textured and long-lasting, creating a solid block of colour where sun-loving plants struggle.
Growing from tubers, this begonia forms compact plants to around around 40cm, flowering continuously from early summer into autumn when kept evenly moist and regularly fed.
Start tubers indoors in spring or plant outside once frosts have passed. Choose fertile, well-drained compost and position in bright shade or partial shade, sheltered from strong wind and hot afternoon sun.
Water lightly until growth is established, then keep compost evenly moist but never waterlogged. Feed every 10–14 days during flowering and remove spent blooms to encourage more flowers.
Ideal for pots, window boxes and shaded borders, begonias can be overwintered easily. Lift tubers after the first frost, dry them off, and store cool and frost-free until spring.

Kind Words from Our Gardeners
Arrived quickly and well-packaged. Planted them in some pots on the patio and they all came up. Look beautiful. Thank you!

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
