Which begonias flower latest?

Late-flowering varieties of begonias bloom well into the autumn – as late as October in some cases. These include tubers x tuberhybrida ‘Prima Donna’ and ‘Pendula’.

Which begonias are scented?

While most begonias are prized for their visual appeal rather than their scent, some varieties, like ‘Prima Donna Yellow', ‘Prima Donna White’ and scented pink begonia tubers offer delicate fragrances to add an extra sensory dimension to your garden.

How many begonia tubers should you put in a hanging basket?

For a full and lush display, plant three to five begonia tubers in a standard-sized hanging basket. This spacing allows each tuber enough room to grow and ensures that your basket will be filled with cascading blooms throughout the season.
