Description Bring a waterfall of mixed colors to your garden with our Begonia Pendula Mix. This selection is specifically designed for high-impact vertical gardening. Each pack contains a blend of vibrant colors that will arch over the edges of baskets and balcony boxes, creating a lush, multi-colored curtain of blooms that lasts all summer long. Key Features for Malta: Instant Variety: A curated mix of shades (reds, yellows, whites, and pinks) in one pack, ensuring a diverse and cheerful display without having to buy separate varieties. Designed for Height: The pendulous stems are naturally “weeping,” making them the ideal choice for hanging baskets, high wall-planters, or the edge of a balcony. Long-Lasting Performance: These begonias flower continuously from May until the end of October, thriving in the warmth of the Maltese climate. Perfect for Shaded Areas: An excellent solution for north-facing balconies or shaded Maltese courtyards where other summer flowers might struggle. Effortless Beauty: These tubers produce a full, bushy plant with relatively little effort, providing a high reward for busy gardeners. Expert Tips for Growing Mixed Trailing Begonias in Malta: Light Requirements: While they enjoy a warm environment, protect your Begonia Pendula from the scorching direct midday sun. They are happiest in bright, filtered light or morning sun. Basket Planting: For a lush, “professional” look in a 30cm hanging basket, plant 3 to 5 tubers. This ensures the basket is covered from all angles as they grow. Watering Discipline: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the hot Maltese winds (Majjistral/Xlokk). However, ensure your pots have good drainage holes to prevent the tubers from rotting. Feeding for Color: To keep the multi-colored show going, feed your plants with a high-potash liquid fertilizer every 10 days once the first flower buds appear. Wind Awareness: Trailing stems can be sensitive to strong gusts. If a storm is predicted, move hanging baskets to a sheltered corner to protect the delicate flowering branches.
