Begonia Double Yellow

Overview

Begonia Double Yellow: The Sunbeam of the Shady Garden

Begonia Double Yellow is a cheerful and high-impact garden favorite, famous for its brilliant, lemon-gold blooms that bring a burst of sunshine to even the most sun-starved corners. Each flower is a lush, multi-petalled globe, featuring layers of shimmering, buttery petals that create a stunning, rose-like appearance. These vibrant, high-contrast flowers stand out dramatically against the plant’s dark, serrated green foliage, offering a fresh and energetic look. As a top-tier shade performer, this variety is the perfect solution for illuminating north-facing walls, adding a glow of golden warmth to hanging baskets, or creating a bright, welcoming display in sheltered patio containers.

Key Features

• Radiant Golden Hues: The intense yellow petals act as a natural light source in the shade, providing a vivid, sunny atmosphere in areas where traditional summer bedding plants might struggle.

• Ornate Double Form: Each bloom is densely packed with ruffled petals, offering a heavy, luxurious texture that looks like a masterpiece of floral architecture.

• Non-Stop Flower Power: This is a relentless bloomer, starting its display in early summer and continuing to produce new, vibrant flower heads without pause until the first frosts of autumn.

• Versatile & Sturdy: With its compact, mounding habit and thick stems, it stays neat and upright, making it an excellent choice for consistent bedding displays or as a bright "pop" of color in mixed planters.

Gardener's Tip

Because Begonia Double Yellow has such thick, succulent stems and large, heavy flowers, it is vital to manage moisture correctly. To prevent the stems from becoming heavy and drooping, or the tuber from rotting, always ensure your pots have excellent drainage. A great trick is to add a handful of grit or perlite to your potting compost. This ensures the roots stay aerated and the water flows through freely, which is the secret to keeping those bright yellow blooms firm, upright, and flourishing all season long.
