Description

Begonia Pastel Wave Mix is designed for customers who want reliable colour where many summer plants struggle, especially in north facing patios, shaded doorways, courtyards and under light tree canopy. The mix produces a soft pastel blend that sits well with modern planting and also works in classic cottage style containers.

Begonias are prized for three practical reasons: they flower for months, they cope with lower light, and they look tidy with minimal deadheading. The blooms sit above fleshy green foliage, giving a full, finished look in pots and baskets even when the weather is unsettled. In Irish conditions, they are particularly useful for sheltered spots where customers still want strong summer performance without chasing sun.

Start tubers in a bright frost free place in spring, or plant out once nights are mild. Use a free draining compost and avoid waterlogging. Begonias like steady moisture but not saturated soil. Feed little and often once growth is active to keep flowers coming through summer and into early autumn. For best impact, suggest planting several tubers together in a wider container to create a dense wave of colour.

As autumn cools, customers can lift and store tubers dry and frost free for next year, which is a good add on sale for labels and storage advice.
