Begonia - Samba Mix - Large Pack! - 20 pcs. offers a delightful blend of light, pastel-coloured blooms. These full flowers with wavy petals are highly decorative and beautifully contrast with the dark green, pointed leaves featuring finely cut edges. The delicate flower heads provide a stunning display throughout the summer and early autumn. Ideal for decorative goblets, woven baskets, or large ceramic bowls, the Samba Mix begonias are low, compact, and upright plants. They are perfect for edging flowerbeds and excel in potted arrangements on balconies and terraces. These tuberous begonias offer a long flowering period, gracing your garden from June to October.
Growing these tuberous begonias is straightforward, even for those with limited gardening experience. The planting date varies depending on your cultivation method. Traditional planting directly into the ground can commence after May 15, when frost risk is minimal. For an accelerated growth cycle, tubers can be planted as early as March in pots situated in warm, well-lit rooms. When planting, ensure the tubers are placed concave side up and covered with a thin layer of soil. Regular fertilisation and watering are essential for these showy yet delicate plants. Removing faded flowers is also recommended. As they are not frost-hardy, the tubers should be dug up before the first frost and stored at temperatures between 7-10°C, covered with peat or sand.
This large pack includes 20 Samba Mix begonia bulbs, each accompanied by a label offering essential cultivation information.
