Begonia Splendide Apricot is a stunning flower bulb variety that produces cascading blushing salmon-apricot blooms, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any garden. Flowering begins in July and continues throughout the season. The plants grow to a height of 18 cm (7 inches).

To grow Begonia Splendide Apricot, choose a semi-shaded location with rich, moist, well-drained soil. While these begonias thrive in partial shade, they will also bloom in full sun. Plant the bulbs on the soil surface, ensuring the tops are exposed, and space them 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Begin planting in April when the risk of frost has passed.

For an earlier flowering display, place the tubers close together in trays filled with damp compost and sand. Maintain a temperature of 7-16ºC (45-60ºF) to encourage sprouting. Once all danger of frost is gone, transplant the tubers into their final outdoor positions.

Begonia Splendide Apricot is ideal for flower beds, borders, and containers on patios and balconies. Its elegant blooms and versatility also make it suitable for use as a houseplant.
