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 ‘Peardrop’ bears pretty flowers in pink, peach and yellow, in contrast with dark foliage. It’s perfect for growing in 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.
