Reminiscent of the comforting colours of childhood candies, these delightful double blooms will be drenched in invigorating colour from June to October. This incredible colour makes Begonia x tuberhybrida ‘Illumination Apricot Shades’ one of the most popular summer plants. The blooms are so luminous, so vivid, so dazzling that you might even think you could get a suntan! Whilst that might not actually be possible, the warmth these flowers will bring to your garden it undeniable. A gentle trailing habit allows this beauty to flow up and over the sides of your baskets and create and almost spherical wonderous display. This tender, tuberous plant with robust blooms is extremely low maintenance too - which is always a bonus. Prefers well-drained sandy or loam-based soil in sun or partial shade. H&S: 20-30cm, trailing up to 40cm.
