How to Grow & Care for Your Begonia

• Light: Prefers partial shade but tolerates morning sun—ideal for brightening shadier borders or patios.
• Soil: Needs moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter; neutral to slightly acidic pH is best.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Water at the base to prevent leaf scorch.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during active growth for prolific blooms.
• Hardiness: Tender perennial (USDA zones 9–11). In colder regions, treat as an annual or lift tubers before frost sets in.

Planting & Seasonal Care Tips

• When to Plant: Plant outdoors after the last frost—usually late April to early June in the UK.
• Tuber Care: In autumn, lift and store tubers in a cool, dry spot if you plan to replant next year.
• No Pruning Needed: Simply deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming throughout the season.

Clever Design & Companion Planting Ideas

• Use as a vibrant focal point on patios or balconies where continuous colour is desired all summer long.
