Soft, rosy tones and a compact shape make this a brilliant choice for brightening up summer displays. This potted seasonal begonia forms a tidy mound of heart-shaped, dark green leaves reaching up to 15cm (6in) long, giving you a lush base that shows off the flowers to full effect.
Begonia 'Nonstop Pink' produces fully double pink blooms right through summer, each flower up to 7cm (3in) across with gently ruffled petals that create a full, rounded look. The cheerful pink shade works beautifully in containers, window boxes and sheltered borders, either on its own or mixed with whites and deeper tones for contrast.
Easy to grow in free-draining compost and happiest in a bright, sheltered spot out of strong midday sun, it performs best with regular watering and feeding.

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.
