Care Guide

• Begonia ‘Apricot Shades’ grows well in sun and shade, and its trailing habit makes it perfect for growing in hanging baskets.
• For best results keep plants well watered, and feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser to prolong flowering.
• Remove faded flowers to encorage more blooms.
• Hang in a sunny or semi shaded position that is protected from strong winds.
• Take care not to over-water, as this will cause new begona flower buds to drop.
• Larger flowers are produces when the smaller female flowers are removed.
