Begonia Sunray
B3528
Description
Cascade Begonia 'Sunray' is excellent for adding warm colour to your summer displays. Orange-yellow double blooms that can reach up to 9 cm in diameter. Our begonias flower for months on end, from May until at least September in glorious, saturated shades of orange and yellow.
Begonias thrive best in light soil which is rich in leaf-mould, in a position in part shade where the layered flowers shimmer as they catch the light. Start in March or April, preferably in a cold frame or greenhouse.
Fill pots, hanging baskets, window-boxes, unusual vintage containers and borders with cascade begonias for a show-stopping display. They can reach a flowering height of between 20-25 cm.
de Jager's Cascade 'Sunray' Begonia tubers are top quality, top size and really make a huge difference in terms of flowering.
Care Guide
Begonia tubers should be started in March or April, in a cold frame or greenhouse.
Choose a pot with a 20cm diameter and several holes in the bottom for drainage. Fill it with rich, good quality compost, leaving a 5cm gap from the rim. Plant your Begonia tuber with the hollow side uppermost, ensuring it sits 2.5cm below the soil surface. Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Place the pot undercover, in a shaded area with temperatures around 18-24°C and shoots will soon start to appear.
Once the danger of frost has passed, usually around the beginning of June, Begonias can be planted out.
Begonias will reach a height of 30-45cm, boasting vibrant, showy blooms ideal for patio containers and hanging baskets.
In October, lift the tubers, remove faded foliage and store in a frost-free place, in dry compost or wood shavings.
