Overview
Begonia Non-Stop Mix: The Ever-Blooming Colour Carnival
Begonia 'Non-Stop' Mix is the ultimate solution for gardeners who want a relentless explosion of colour from early summer until the first frost. This world-famous series is beloved for its incredible flower power and its ability to produce a non-stop succession of large, double blooms in a vibrant spectrum of red, orange, yellow, pink, and white. Unlike many other summer bedding plants that "rest" during heatwaves, the Non-Stop variety lives up to its name, pushing out fresh, rose-like flowers regardless of the weather. With their tidy, mounding habit and lush, serrated green foliage, these begonias are the perfect high-impact choice for shady patios, hanging baskets, and garden borders.
Key Features
-
Relentless Blooming Cycle: Engineered for performance, this mix ensures your garden stays vibrant for months on end, with new buds constantly replacing faded blooms for a seamless display.
-
Large, High-Definition Doubles: Each flower is packed with layers of silky petals, creating a full, double-form look that resembles a miniature rose or camellia.
-
Shade-Tolerant Brilliance: While many flowering plants struggle without direct sun, the Non-Stop series thrives in partial shade, bringing luminosity and "pop" to the darker corners of your garden.
-
Compact and Versatile: Growing into a neat, 30 cm mound, these begonias are perfectly suited for mixed container displays, window boxes, or as a uniform "carpet of colour" at the front of a border.
Gardener's Tip
To keep your 'Non-Stop' Begonias flourishing at their peak, the secret is regular deadheading. Simply pinch off the faded flower heads to encourage the plant to divert all its energy into producing new buds. Because they are such vigorous bloomers, they are "hungry" plants; feeding them with a high-potash liquid fertiliser every two weeks will ensure the colours remain saturated and the stems stay strong. Remember, begonias have thick, succulent stems that store water, so always allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to keep the tubers healthy and rot-free.
