Plant description

Big, bold blooms with a soft twist of colour make this a real standout for pots and borders. Each flower opens creamy lemon through the centre, fading out to blush pink edges, creating a fresh bicolour effect that brightens up patios, doorsteps and shaded corners. The rounded, rose-like double flowers sit neatly above glossy green foliage, forming a compact, well-branched plant that keeps its shape without fuss.

Begonia ‘Sunbrero Bicolour’ is ideal for containers, window boxes and the front of borders where you can enjoy the detail up close. Plant in free-draining compost in a bright, sheltered spot with partial shade, avoiding harsh midday sun. Keep it evenly watered and feed regularly to support continuous flowering, and deadhead spent blooms to keep the display going strong right through the season.

Care guide

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.
