Free delivery on all these begonia bulbs at Jersey plants direct

Jersey Plants Direct have a good range of begonia bulbs.
How do you know which way up to plant begonia tubers? Look for the remains of last years growths – they’ll be pointing upwards.
Where can I start them off if I don’t have a greenhouse?
You need to keep them frost free! This is important as they will be badly damaged by frost. A cool room will do – as long as it doesn’t get frosty.

If you live in the southern end of the UK then you might get away with leaving them in the ground – plant a bit deeper than you would normally and then let them grow all summer. As they start to die back you need to mulch the surface to give more protecting from frost. You should put slug pellets down in the spring to stop the monsters eating the tender new shoots as they come up. A couple of inches of wood bark mulch would be perfect and also helps suppress weeds in your beds. Some people might want to use straw but this can look more untidy.

Do not plant out plants you have been growing indoors until you have hardened them off and the risk of frost has passed.

The bedding plant geraniums aren’t technically geraniums – they are zonal pelargoniums.

True geraniums are hardy perennial plants you can keep year after year in your borders. Bees love them! I have a purple version in my garden and it flowers prolifically.

Jersey Plants Direct has this true geranium offer

Dwarf Hardy Geranium Collection 6 Jumbo Plants £12.99
Traditional favourite ideal for your garden
A Dwarf Hardy Geraniums is a great plant for a flower border. They are very traditional favourite and take relatively little looking after. They are good in dry conditions. Mine does well under a privet hedge which can be too dry for many plants.

Fantastic bedding plant. Very traditional but given new life with new shades and colours. Easy to grow in tubs and baskets as well as in flower borders.

Also known as Pelargoniums.
Can be grown from seed

Most of the bedding plant geraniums are zonal. (There are 6 types of pelargoniums)
Growing conditions – fertile soil, pH – neutral to alkaline soil preferred (get a pH meter out to check garden beds)
Growing in tubs? Recommended to use a John Innes No 2 compost.
Feed about every two weeks. Don’t overwater but don’t let dry out too much.
Can use a tomato feed to encourage flowering. Can be overwintered as cuttings but must be frost free. If you have a frost free greenhouse then you could try keeping a few in pots but they will take up lots of space and heating greenhouse might be expensive in a cold winter so usually cheaper to buy new again each year. With so many new varieties it’s always worth having a look at the new colour options available.
