Product description
Begonia Yellow Double is a trailing, perennial tuberous begonia renowned for its rosette-like, double yellow flowers that bloom profusely from June until October. These vibrant blooms cascade elegantly, making them ideal for hanging baskets and containers, adding a bright splash of color to shaded garden areas.
Thriving in partial shade, Begonia Yellow Double prefers fertile, well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil. Regular watering during the growing season and deadheading of faded blooms will promote healthy growth and prolonged flowering. Its trailing habit, reaching up to 45 cm in height, makes it perfect for creating a cascading effect in containers and baskets.
As autumn approaches and temperatures drop, it's essential to lift the tubers before the first frost. After drying, store them in a cool, dark, frost-free location to ensure they remain viable for replanting in the following spring. With proper care, Begonia Yellow Double will continue to enhance your garden with its stunning yellow blooms year after year.
