Specifications Supplied ready planted with Begonia 'Apricot Shades' mix into a 25cm durable green plastic hanging basket. Availability: May to June Flowering time: June to October Model Number: 450042 Top Tips You can remove the single female flowers to encourage more of the large double male flowers to be produced if you wish - although we like to leave them on for a fuller display. Deadhead faded blooms to extend the flowering period. Care Information Begonia 'Apricot Shades' grows well in sun and shade, and its trailing habit makes it perfect for growing in hanging baskets. For best results keep plants well-watered and feed fortnightly with a high potash fertiliser to prolong flowering. Remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms. Hang in a sunny or semi-shaded position that is protected from strong winds. Take care not to over-water, as this will cause new begonia flower buds to drop. Larger flowers are produced when the smaller female flowers are removed.
