Begonia Double Orange – Pack of 5 Bulbs
Brighten shaded patios, containers, and garden borders with Begonia Double Orange bulbs, producing spectacular large double blooms in vibrant orange. These showy tuberous begonias thrive in partial shade and are ideal for pots, tubs, and bedding displays. Their bold colour and long flowering season make them a favourite choice for gardeners looking to create striking summer arrangements.
Whether grown in patio containers or planted at the front of a border, Double Orange Begonias deliver a continuous display of lush foliage and rich, double-petalled flowers from early summer through to autumn. With proper care and regular feeding, these plants can reach up to 24 inches (60cm) in height, forming an eye-catching floral display.
For best results, start the begonia tubers indoors early in the season and transplant them outside once the risk of frost has passed. Their tolerance for light shade makes them perfect for sheltered patios, shaded balconies, and garden beds where other flowering plants may struggle.

Planting & Growing Instructions
Starting Begonia Tubers
-
Start tubers early by planting them 2 inches apart in trays or individually in 3 inch pots.
-
Position with the hollow side facing upward, with the top of the corm level with the compost surface.
-
Place in a cool, bright location with good ventilation, such as a greenhouse or sunny windowsill.
Establishing Healthy Growth
-
Once shoots appear, gradually increase temperature and protect plants from strong sunlight until established.
-
Harden plants off before moving them outdoors after the final frost.
Summer Care
-
Water regularly during warm weather, avoiding water directly on foliage to prevent scorching.
-
Feed every two weeks with a balanced fertiliser.
-
Remove spent flowers to encourage longer blooming periods.
Overwintering Begonia Tubers
At the end of the season, lift tubers before the first frost. Clean and dry them thoroughly, dust lightly with fungicide, and store in a cool, frost-free location ready for replanting next spring.
Perfect Companion Plants
Begonias pair beautifully with shade-loving favourites such as busy lizzies and fuchsias, creating colourful layered displays in containers and borders.
