Begonia 'Starshine Appleblossom' (Starshine Series)
begonia
Delicate pink and white funnel-shaped flowers bloom in abundance on strong, arching stems, creating a vibrant display throughout summer.
This vigorous begonia is ideal for patio pots, hanging baskets, or garden borders, and for the best results, are best grown on in 9cm pots before planting them into their final position (take a look at our Bedding Guide, linked above.)
Begonia 'Starshine Appleblossom' thrives in containers and small garden spaces, making it a versatile choice for brightening up patios, balconies, or beds with long-lasting blooms.
Please also note that the hanging basket in the photograph is not supplied with the plants, however we have a wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Begonia Starshine Appleblossom (Starshine Series):
Pot up your plants and grow them on under glass until all risk of frost has passed. Water well after potting up, and while keeping them in a bright, warm spot, only water again when the soil becomes quite dry.
Once actively growing, they can be watered more regularly, especially those growing in sunnier positions, but make sure that the compost or soil is never overly wet or waterlogged. During the growing season they can be fed with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
Begonias grown in the ground should be lifted before the first hard frosts and left to die back before being stored in a well ventilated, dry place over the winter. Container-grown plants should be brought under cover during winter and 'potted on' into a slightly larger container each year in spring.
