Product description
Begonia Non-Stop Lemon is a premium tuberous perennial grown as a tender summer annual, famous for producing massive, luminous yellow double blooms that resemble roses. True to its "Non-Stop" title, this disciplined clumping plant pushes out continuous colour from early summer until freezing autumn weather forces the underground tuber into dormancy. Its thick, dark green, asymmetrical leaves provide a bold, high-contrast background that makes the vibrant lemon-coloured petals pop brilliantly in the shadows.
This variety is built for sheltered, shaded, or partially shaded environments where the harsh UV rays of the sun cannot scorch its watery, delicate foliage. Plant it in a fertile, slightly acidic compost and water directly at the base of the stems, keeping the root zone reliably damp but never waterlogged to avoid stem rot. Because it invests heavily in massive flower heads, switch to a high-potassium liquid feed as soon as the first buds appear to fuel the display without encouraging excess leaf growth.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

How to Plant
Set your Begonia Non-Stop Lemon in a sheltered, shaded position away from the harsh midday sun. Use a high-quality, slightly acidic compost to support its fleshy stems. These are the perfect choice for brightening up North-facing patios.
