FAQs

How many plants are included in a set?

A set includes 20 garden-ready Begonia 'sahara' plants.

When is the best time to plant these begonias?

As they are garden-ready, plant them out as soon as you receive them, typically from spring onwards once the risk of frost has passed.

Can these begonias be grown indoors?

While primarily designed for outdoor garden use, they can be grown in pots on a bright windowsill, though they thrive best with outdoor conditions.

Do the flowers change color?

The flowers are described as having attractive shades of red, pink, and white, each with a yellow center. The coloration is consistent within the variety.

Are these plants perennial or annual?

Begonias like 'sahara' are typically treated as annuals in cooler climates, providing summer-long displays.

What kind of soil do they prefer?

They prefer well-drained soil. Amending heavy soil with compost can improve drainage.

Do I need to deadhead the flowers?

Deadheading is generally not required as the plant produces flowers continuously and has a self-cleaning habit, but removing spent blooms can encourage tidiness.

Troubleshooting

Plants arriving slightly wilted

This can be normal due to transit. Water them thoroughly upon arrival and plant them out as soon as possible. They should recover quickly in suitable conditions.

Lack of flowering

Ensure the plants are receiving adequate sunlight and water. Over-fertilization with high nitrogen can promote foliage over flowers; use a balanced fertilizer.

Yellowing leaves

This could indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings and ensure the planting location offers good drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These Begonia 'sahara' plants are supplied as garden-ready specimens. Upon receiving them, it is best to plant them out into their final positions as soon as possible. Ensure they are planted in well-drained soil. While they have excellent weather tolerance, providing adequate moisture, especially during dry periods and when newly planted, will encourage the best growth and flowering. They are compatible with most garden soils and can be grown alongside a variety of other summer-flowering plants.

Care Instructions:

  1. Planting: Gently remove plants from their packaging and plant into prepared soil or pots, ensuring the root ball is covered.
  2. Watering: Water regularly, particularly in the first few weeks after planting and during dry spells. Avoid waterlogging.
  3. Location: Choose a location that receives adequate sunlight. While they tolerate various conditions, they perform best in light shade to partial sun.
  4. Feeding: A light feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season can support continued flowering.
