Begonia 'Colour Cascade'

• You can remove single female flowers to encourage more of the large double male flowers to be produced if you wish - although we like to leave them on for a fuller display.
• Deadhead faded blooms to extend the flowering period.

• Begonia 'Colour Cascade' grows well in sun and shade, and its trailing habit makes it perfect for growing in pots and hanging baskets.
• For best results keep plants well watered, and feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser to prolong flowering.
• Remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms.
• Begonia plugs can be planted straight into containers and baskets but are best potted on first and grown on in warm, frost-free conditions.
• Begonia plants can then be transplanted into their final containers once they have increased in size.
• When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise begonia plants to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days.
• Choose a sunny or semi shaded position that is protected from strong winds - a cold frame is ideal.
• Feed and water plants frequently throughout the growing season taking care not to over-water, as this will cause new Begonia flower buds to drop.
• Deadhead the single female flowers to encourage more of the large double male flowers to be produced and to extend the flowering period.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
