Begonia 'On Top Sunset Shades'

• Begonia grow well in shade or partial sun.
• For best results keep plants well watered, and feed once a month with a high-potash fertiliser to prolong flowering.
• Remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms.
• Garden Ready begonia plants can be planted straight into containers and baskets.
• 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 flowers to encourage more of the double 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.
