€7.95
Begonia Splendide Alifra from the Select by Taylor’s range is a richly coloured, free-flowering summer begonia that brings classic charm and impact to hanging displays. From July onwards, plants produce masses of soft pink, fully double blooms that cascade gracefully from baskets and raised containers. The flowers sit beautifully against fresh green foliage, creating a lush and elegant look that lasts throughout the summer months. Carefully selected for attractive hanging blooms, this begonia performs reliably in Irish conditions and is ideal for adding colour to sheltered outdoor spaces.
Key Features
This begonia is selected for its abundant flowering and attractive trailing habit, making it especially well suited to hanging baskets and elevated containers. It flowers from July onwards, providing long-lasting summer colour when planted in the right position. The double pink blooms offer a traditional, decorative appearance and the plant is easy to grow, making it suitable for gardeners of all experience levels.
Size
Begonia Splendide Alifra reaches an approximate flowering height of 35cm, or around 14 inches, with a naturally cascading growth habit.
Useful For
Ideal for hanging baskets, patio containers, window boxes and raised planters, particularly in sheltered areas where the trailing blooms can be fully appreciated.
Aftercare
Plant begonia tubers in spring once the risk of frost has passed, using fertile, well-drained compost in a sheltered position with bright light or partial shade. Water regularly during the growing season, ensuring the compost does not become waterlogged. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally. Lift and store tubers over winter in a cool, dry, frost-free place for replanting the following year.
