Tuberous Begonia 'Million Kisses Elegance'

Begonia 'Million Kisses Elegance' is a superb tuberous-rooted variety specifically bred for its cascading habit and prolific flowering, making it an ideal choice for UK hanging baskets and window boxes. It produces a continuous shower of delicate, semi-double, creamy-white flowers with a soft pink blush on the petal edges. The flowers are set against pointed, dark green foliage that provides a crisp backdrop. Unlike many older tuberous begonias, this series is noted for its vigour and ability to withstand varied British summer weather, showing good resilience to heat and rain. It thrives in partial shade but can tolerate fuller sun if kept well-watered. It is a tender perennial (H2), so the tubers must be lifted in autumn and stored in a dry, frost-free place for the winter. For the best display, provide regular liquid tomato feed throughout the summer to support the relentless production of blooms from June until the first autumn frosts. It requires no deadheading as it is self-cleaning.
