How to plant Pendula Begonias
- Pendula Begonia Tubers are ideal for hanging down over containers, pots or tubs.
- Start the tubers off in late February and plant out in their final spot after the risk of frost has passed.
- Plant in the spring for summer flowering.
- The tubers can also be overwintered, lift in autumn before the first frosts and dry them off.
Planting In Pots
- Plant your tubers in the Spring. Starting them off indoors in the early spring months whilst there is still a risk of frost.
- Use a multi-purpose compst in full sun / partial shade.
- Ensure you have drainage holes in your pots and add grit to encourage free draining.
- We advise planting 3 x tubers into an average-sized container.
- Position the Begonia tubers just below the compost surface with the 'hole' of the tuber facing up, cover with 2-3cm (1") of compost.
- Space your tubers about 8-10cm (3-4") apart depending on your pot size.
Planting In the Garden
- After the last frosts (usually March/April), you can plant your Begonia tubers outside in a well-drained soil in a sunny position.
- Unlike other garden bulbs with a pointy tip, Begonia tubers have a hollow hole in the centre of them, plant them with this hole pointing upwards.
- Plant your Begonias shallowly, covering them with just 2-3cm (1") of soil. Space your tubers about 25cm (10") apart.

Care Instructions
How to care for Begonias
- Feed and water Begonia plants frequently throughout the growing season. Take care not to over water.
- Feed your Begonias with a high-potash fertiliser like a tomato feed.
- Deadhead faded flower heads regularly, this will encourage new growth for longer.
- Once the Begonia flowering season has finished, the stems and foliage will turn yellow and die back naturally.
- Reduce watering to prevent rotting.
- Once all the stems have fallen off naturally, dig out the tubers, clean and dry them before storing them away in peat or sand in a dry, frost-free area like a garage or shed.
- Replant the following February.
