Turn up the heat in your summer planting with bold, velvety red blooms that refuse to fade into the background. This compact begonia forms a dense mound of heart-shaped, dark green leaves to around 15cm (6in) long, creating a rich foil for the flowers and keeping the overall look neat and balanced.
Throughout summer, large double red flowers up to 7cm (3in) across open in abundance, their ruffled petals giving a full, almost rose-like effect that adds depth and texture to pots and borders. The colour is strong and confident, perfect for mixing with hot oranges and pinks or for anchoring softer schemes with real impact.
Ideal for containers, window boxes and sheltered beds, Begonia 'Nonstop Red' thrives in free-draining compost in a bright spot out of harsh midday sun. Keep it watered and fed, and it will reward you with continuous, high-impact colour that carries your outdoor space right through the season.

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.
