Know before you buy
No, this variety is self-cleaning and does not require deadheading. It will continue to produce new blooms from planting until the first frost without extra maintenance.
This plant is specifically bred for full to partial shade. Direct, intense sunlight can scorch the foliage and hinder flower production, so it is best kept in a shaded area.
With a trailing habit and a spread of 24 to 30 inches, this begonia is best suited for a large hanging basket or container where it has room to cascade. It is an excellent choice for a standalone feature plant.
The Illumination Apricot Shades Begonia is typically grown as an annual. While it is hardy in zones 9-11, most gardeners treat it as a seasonal plant to enjoy for its continuous bloom throughout the warmer months.
Average watering means keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
