Begonia Non-Stop White
B3593
Description
Non-Stop 'White' Begonias are excellent for adding elegant glamour to your summer displays. Bursting with masses of pure white blooms that can reach up to 10 cm in diameter. Our begonias flower for months on end, from May until at least September, Non-Stop Begonias are perfect for both beginners and the more experienced gardener.
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.
Because of their compact size and continuous bloom cycle, Non-Stop Begonias are perfect for containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets. They can reach a flowering height of between 15-20 cm.
de Jager's Non-Stop 'White' 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.

Mixed
M5066
Fill summer containers, hanging baskets and window-boxes with this delightful mixture of colourful Achimenes which will flower from late spring until late autumn.
A profusion of open-faced blooms, resembling petunias crossed with violets, covers the mounded foliage which will cascade over the brim of your pots. This Achimenes 'Mixture' includes bold red-orange and purple varieties along with softer pinks and crisp whites.
Free flowering and fast growing, Achimenes belong to the same family as African Violets and Gloxinias. Originating from sunny South and Central America, they are tender rhizomatous perennials which need protection from frost and are often grown as houseplants.
