How to Grow & Care for Your Begonias

• Planting Time: Plant bulbs indoors from February–April or directly outdoors after the last frost.
• Location: Prefers partial shade but tolerates full sun if kept moist. Great for north- or east-facing beds and patios.
• Soil: Well-drained, humus-rich soil with neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0) is ideal.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to protect blooms.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks during active growth.
• Caring Tips: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms. Lift bulbs before the first hard frost and store in a cool, dry place over winter if not hardy in your area (generally hardy in UK zones H2–H3).

Add Instant Impact & Versatility

• Beds & Borders: Combine with shade-loving ferns or hostas for layered interest.
• Pots & Baskets: Mix with trailing lobelia or ivy for vibrant container displays.
• Cottage Gardens: Use as a colourful accent among perennials or annuals with similar moisture needs.
