Begonia Illumination Apricot Shades F1

To many crammed into to small a package , to many folage crushed and broken trying to save as many as possible

The begonias look lovely in a trough but the sweet peas are very disappointing. All suppliers imagine that we all want watery colours and principally purples. Moreover there is no perfume with them. I can remember buying in the past, creams , feds and frillynedged multi colours. Sorry this is more about sweet peas than begonias.

Unfortunately the begonias were at the top of a box of plants that was upended by the courier. A lot of plants were broken and although I tried to grow them on again from the roots I didn't have much success. Some didn't actually have much root system. After nurturing them in the greenhouse for over a month they are finally in pots in the garden, but out of 30 plants only about 20 survived, This is unusual as I have had these plants from you several times before and they have always been perfect. Please ask me about the Antirrhinums and Verbena received later - they were all fine :)

on opening the box most of the leaves were in the bottom. the stalks looked sickly too. i salvaged three.i then went to my local garden centre to purchase more.very disappointing especially as they were superb last year.

Although box a bit battered when they arrived the plants were in excellent condition. Nice size and have really taken off since being planted. Lovely colours.
