Upright Begonia Solenia Apricot – 1 Large Bedding Plant. Supplied in 2L Pot. Peat Free, Garden Ready & Already Blooming. Fully Double Blooms. Long Lasting Summer Colour for Pots, Beds & Borders

• FULLY DOUBLE APRICOT BLOOMS FROM SPRING TO FROST – Fading flowers & leggy growth can disrupt seasonal schemes. Begonia ‘Solenia Apricot’ keeps things neat, bold & brilliantly reliable. It's popular for producing masses of fully double apricot-orange blooms, set beautifully against lush green foliage. With a naturally compact, mounded habit (20–30 cm tall), this mildew-resistant variety is perfect for patio pots, containers, baskets & borders, delivering sun-kissed colour all season long.
• LARGE, HEALTHY & GARDEN-READY PLANT – Most bedding packs from supermarkets or garden centres come with small, underdeveloped plugs that often fail to establish. Not ours! This begonia is supplied as a large, fully established plant in a generous 2L pot for reliable performance after planting, & is grown & dispatched fresh from our Yorkshire nursery. Because we garden to protect the planet, every order arrives in 100% plastic-free packaging—sustainable for the earth & safe for your plant.
• GROWN IN PEAT-FREE COMPOST – Mass-produced bedding plants are often grown in peat-based compost, which contributes to the degradation of natural peatlands & releases stored carbon into the atmosphere. At Verdant Living, we’ve taken a more responsible approach. Our plants are grown in 100% environmentally friendly, peat-free compost, delivering the same reliable growth, health & flowering. It’s a smarter, cleaner, & more responsible choice that reflects the future of sustainable horticulture.
• IN BUD OR ALREADY BLOOMING – We understand how disappointing it can be to receive a single plant that’s far from blooming or shows uneven flower development. With Verdant Living, you won’t need to wait weeks for colour. We time our dispatch to ensure your begonias arrive at their best—either already in bloom or just about to burst into flower. This begonia plant also arrives with strong stems & visibly healthy foliage, delivering instant, cohesive impact from the moment it reaches your garden.
• BEDDING PLANT CARE MADE SIMPLE – All the hard work of seeding, germinating & growing has already been done—ready for you to enjoy. Plus, bedding plants like Begonias are generally easy to care for. They prefer part shade to shade but tolerate some morning sun or dappled sunlight in evenly moist, well-drained soil. Water when the top inch is dry to prevent wilting or root rot. Feed as needed. For best results, avoid hot midday sun, which can scorch blooms & foliage. No deadheading required.

Double Blooms That Define Summer Colour For vibrant, full-bodied colour that lasts from spring to frost, look no further than our 2L Begonia Collection. These compact, double-flowering varieties—including Vermillion Red, Solenia Apricot, Solenia Dark Pink & Ilona Camilla—deliver masses of richly layered blooms that shine in containers, beds & baskets. Each plant grows to 20–30cm tall, forming a dense, upright habit that fills space with sculptural foliage & bold, long-lasting floral colour. Perfect for Shade & Small-Space Displays Begonias are one of the best bedding choices for part-shade or dappled light—ideal for patios, balconies & north-facing plots where other plants may underperform. Their neat, mounded habit brings structure to small gardens, while the bold flower colours offer flexibility across modern or classic planting schemes. Use them as front-of-border highlights, container centrepieces or low-maintenance window box accents. Reliable Blooms, Minimal Effort Each variety in this collection is bred for mildew resistance, consistent flowering & self-cleaning performance, meaning less maintenance & more impact. Whether you're looking to revive tired borders or build out seasonal container displays, these begonias are as practical as they are beautiful.
