The ultimate summer bedding plant, begonias bloom for months on end, producing flowers in a range of colours, shapes and sizes. They’re commonly used for filling gaps at the front of the border and are perfect for growing in baskets and pots.

Begonia ‘Inferno’ produces masses of bright orange, weather-resistant flowers for months on end. Plants are fast growing, so quickly fill gaps in the border, and there’s no need to deadhead spent blooms. It’s perfect for growing in borders, pots and hanging baskets, and thrives in full sun to shade. For best results keep plants well watered, and feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser to prolong flowering.
