BEGONIA Summer Rainbow F2

This is a superb summer bedding plant. Flowering month after month, this strain has a good colour range. It is very effective in tubs, window boxes, borders or as a pot plant.

To Sow & Grow:
Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow thinly on the surface of a small tray of pre-watered compost. Place in a warm light position. A temperature of 21-24c (70-75F) is ideal. Keep the compost moist. The tray can be covered with cling film to preserve humidity, but remove when seedlings appear. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2) apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 23cm (9) apart, when frosts are over.
