Brighten up pots and borders with a burst of clear lemon-yellow that lasts for months. This compact, mound-forming begonia produces lush green foliage that sets off large, fully double blooms packed with petals, creating a bold, rounded display that feels full and generous rather than fussy.
Begonia 'Nonstop Lemon' flowers freely through summer and well into autumn, holding its colour even through unsettled weather. The blooms are weather-resistant and keep coming, making it a reliable choice for containers, window boxes and sheltered beds where you want strong, consistent impact. Its tidy habit means it won’t sprawl, so it’s easy to slot into mixed arrangements or use on its own for a clean, colour-focused look.
Plant in free-draining compost in a bright, sheltered spot out of harsh midday sun, and keep it watered and fed to maintain momentum. As an added bonus, the vibrant petals are edible, bringing a light citrus note and crisp texture to salads.

Grow potted plants, or pot up into baskets and pots, 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, fortnightly.
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.
