2 Begonia Odorata Red Tubers

Begonia Ordorata Red bulbs flower from July onwards. We've included them in our 'Select Range' of garden bulbs because of their fragrance and trailing abilities. These Begonia bulbs are great in hanging baskets.

Begonias like a rich, moist garden soil with good drainage. Preferably in a semi-shaded place, although they will bloom in full sun.

Suitable for flower beds, borders, containers on the patio and balcony. Also suitable as a houseplant.

Plant outdoors, hollow part uppermost when all danger of frost has passed. Keep the soil moist and remove faded flowers. At the end of the season, lift the tubers, cut the stems off just above the tuber and store in a dry soil at 4 - 10C.

For early flowering, place tubers close together and level with the soil in trays containing damp compost and sand. Try to maintain a temperature of between 7 and 16C. Plant outdoors only when all danger of frost has passed.
