Begonia ‘Illumination Mixed’ Description

Begonia ‘Illumination Mixed’ is a selection of trailing tuberous begonias producing arching stems and large, mostly double flowers in a varied range of bright and pastel colours. The plants create a full cascading display in hanging baskets, window boxes and raised patio containers from early summer until frost. As this is a mixture, individual flower colours will vary. Grow in partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained compost, protected from strong wind and harsh midday sun. Water regularly and feed throughout summer, allowing excess water to drain freely. The plants are not hardy outdoors in Ireland. Tubers may be lifted after the foliage fades and stored in a dry, frost-free place over winter.
