Description
Begonia Double Yellow bulbs look simply amazing in amongst the summer garden. Bright lemon yellow double heads on sturdy stems with luscious green leaves which are also a big part of the display. Like all Begonias they prefer a well drained soil in a part shaded area as opposed to a full sun position. Place under a tree or a porch for shade. They are a fairly low flower, but their heads can measure up to 15cm across. Plant the bulbs from February onwards hollow side up, in the greenhouse in shallow trays. As soon as the shoots appear, they can be transferred into bigger pots. They will appreciate a good compost and a bonemeal mix. Once any frost risk has passed they can go out into the garden. When established and flowering, they will require a feed every couple of weeks and deadhead the dying flowers. Begonia Double Yellow bulbs will much prefer a moist bed, and through dry periods will need watering sometimes twice a day if necessary.
When handling bulbs, wearing gloves is advisable as they can be a skin irritant and harmful if eaten.
Begonia bulbs look fantastic planted with other summer classics such as Daliahs and Crocosmias. Create a show of colour and a bee & butterfly friendly garden.
