Begonia Funky Pink
This hot pink begonia is certainly competition for our best-selling 'Apricot Shades'! It makes a vibrant splash of colour, perfect for adding to baskets and patio pots, where it gushes with colour using its remarkable trailing habit. It produces an abundance of unusually shaped, large, double flowers in a rich salmon pink with flecks of gold and fiery orange centres.
As beautiful as this variety is, it is also easy to grow, compact and well-branched, offering an exceptional display, flowering over many weeks through the summer months. It thrives in either full sun or semi-shade, and no matter the shape or size of your garden, you can enjoy these wonderful weather-tolerant begonia blooms. Plant in patio pots, containers or within a hanging basket, but no matter where they are, they are sure to explode with colour! Height and spread: 50cm (20").
This product is a half hardy perennial and can successfully be overwintered for use again the following spring if kept in frost-free conditions. However, for convenience, it is more often treated as an annual and planted fresh each year.
Begonia plugs can be planted straight into flower pouches but are best potted on first and grown on in bright, frost-free conditions if they are to be displayed in baskets, window boxes, pots and beds. Begonia plants can be transplanted into their final containers once they have increased in size. When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise begonia plants to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days, before placing them in their final positions. Choose a sunny or semi shaded position that is protected from strong winds.
