Begonia Mocca Bright Yellow Basket Plants

Description

The Begonia Mocca series is bred entirely for maximum, moody drama. These tuberous perennials are defined by their incredible, dark chocolate-bronze leaves, which provide a striking, high-contrast backdrop for their vibrant, neon double blooms. Because they focus all their energy into producing these heavy, visually explosive flowers and thick foliage, they offer zero fragrance and no food for pollinators, but they completely steal the show in any shaded display.

To get the best out of the Mocca series, you must place your baskets in partial or dappled shade, as harsh midday sun will quickly scorch their spectacular dark leaves. They require a rich, slightly acidic loam compost that drains freely, as their fleshy underground tubers are highly susceptible to rotting if left sitting in cold, heavy mud. Always let the top inch of dirt dry out completely before watering, and apply a high-potash liquid fertiliser weekly once the buds appear to fuel their massive floral output.

Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
