Begonia Silver Lace

Silver Lace Frilled Begonias are similar to the Camellia type but for their lovely frilled edges and provide a remarkable combination when planted together. A rewarding plant, they prefer a sunny or partly shaded spot. Begonias are just as easily grown indoors as out, and will produce masses of colour with very little effort.

Tip: Pluck off any single flowers to encourage the large double flowers to come. These plants are available anytime from July – October and can be planted through to December.

Begonia’s are best left out of the soil in a warm spot, ideally in good sunlight where they will sprout and start growing slowly. Once the shoots are 2-3 cm long they should be planted 4-5 cm deep in well worked soil. Do not allow to dry out and keep in mind that Begonias are frost sensitive so be sure to plant after the frosts have passed.
