Begonia Splendide Ballerina produces cascading stems carrying generous double flowers in a warm blend of yellow, salmon and pink. Its compact height makes it a practical choice for baskets and containers where a long flowering season matters.

Start the bulbs indoors in spring in trays or pots of free-draining compost, keeping them warm and protected from frost. Move outdoors after the risk of frost has passed. Position in bright, sheltered light or partial shade, water regularly without leaving the compost waterlogged, and feed during flowering. Lift and store the bulbs frost-free before winter.

About our bulbs: We work closely with our growers to select quality bulbs for British gardens. Our bulbs are trialled and tested either at our Suffolk trials ground or by the growers we work with, helping us choose varieties you can plant with confidence.
