Begonia 'Fimbriata White'
£6.89
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between January 10 and January 12.
Begonia 'Fimbriata White' produces crisp white, frilled blooms that look like soft crepe-paper pompoms, bringing rich colour and a soft, petal-packed look to summer containers and sheltered borders from early summer onwards.
Forming a upright, leafy clump, this tuberous begonia typically reaches an established height of around 30–50 cm in a single season, with repeat-flowering stems that keep the display fresh when you remove faded blooms.
Start tubers in a frost-free place in spring, then plant outside once all risk of frost has passed. Choose humus-rich, well-drained soil and a sheltered spot with bright shade or gentle morning sun, as strong midday sun can scorch leaves and flowers.
Water carefully until growth is established, then keep the compost evenly moist (never waterlogged). Feed every two to three weeks through the growing season for stronger flowering, and protect plants from heavy rain and wind to prevent damage to the blooms.
Ideal for patio pots, window boxes and shaded beds, these begonias provide long-lasting colour and are easy to overwinter: lift the tubers after the first frost, dry them off, and store in a cool, frost-free place until spring.

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!
