Grow Gorgeous Begonia Upright Double “Superba Mix” This Season

If you’re looking for a show-stopping flower for your summer garden, the Begonia Upright Double “Superba Mix” is the perfect choice. With its large, rose-like double blooms in vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, and white, this begonia will brighten up shady corners, containers, and patio pots all season long.

Why Choose Begonia “Superba Mix”?

  • Huge double flowers: Up to 5–6 inches across, looking like roses in full bloom.

  • Shade-tolerant: Ideal for spots that don’t get full sun, such as under trees or along shaded patios.

  • Compact growth: Plants reach 30–35cm tall, making them perfect for pots, borders, or mixed displays.

  • Long-lasting colour: Blooms from summer right into autumn with the right care.

How to Plant Begonia Bulbs

  1. Start early – For the best results, pre-sprout your tubers indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Place them in shallow trays of moist compost, concave side up.

  2. Planting depth – When planting out, cover the tubers with about 2–3cm of soil.

  3. Spacing – Keep 20–30cm between plants for good airflow and growth.

  4. Position – Choose a spot with filtered light, morning sun, or partial shade. Avoid harsh afternoon heat.

  5. Soil – Use rich, well-drained soil or a high-quality potting mix with compost.

Caring for Your Begonias

  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wet leaves.

  • Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser every 2–3 weeks. Switch to a bloom booster once flowers form.

  • Maintenance: Deadhead faded flowers and remove yellowing leaves to keep plants healthy.

  • Support: Stake taller stems if needed to prevent breakage.

Overwintering Begonia Tubers

Begonias don’t like frost. At the end of the season:

  • Allow foliage to die back naturally.

  • If growing in pots, move them to a frost-free spot and stop watering.

  • If in the ground, lift the tubers carefully, let them dry, and store in peat moss or paper bags in a cool, dry place until spring.
