Bringing instant warmth and colour to pots and borders, this cultivated variety stands out for its tidy habit and impressive longevity through the growing season. Lush green foliage forms a neat, compact mound, setting off fully double flowers in rich shades of gold and orange from late spring right through to the first frosts, with only modest maintenance needed to keep the display going.
Begonia ‘Nonstop Flame’ thrives in containers, window boxes and sheltered beds where its weather-resistant blooms can be enjoyed up close, shrugging off summer showers and cooler autumn spells better than many seasonal plants. The flowers are generously sized, densely petalled and produced in abundance, making it an easy way to lift dull corners and keep colour going when other plants start to fade.
As a bonus, the bright petals are edible too, adding a crisp texture and light lemon note to salads or sandwiches.
Grow potted plants, or pot up into baskets and pots, on under glass until all risk of frost has passed. Water well after potting up, and while keeping them in a bright, warm spot, only water again when the soil becomes quite dry.
Once actively growing, they can be watered more regularly, especially those growing in sunnier positions, but make sure that the compost or soil is never overly wet or waterlogged. During the growing season they can be fed with a balanced liquid fertiliser, fortnightly.
Begonias grown in the ground should be lifted before the first hard frosts and left to die back before being stored in a well ventilated, dry place over the winter. Container-grown plants should be brought under cover during winter and 'potted on' into a slightly larger container each year in spring.
