These stunning Begonias produce masses of frilly flowers which cascade gently on trailing stems from June to October. With superb weather resistance, Begonia 'Illumination Mixed' makes an excellent addition to hanging baskets, patio containers and window boxes, where it will light up even the shadiest areas all summer long. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 45cm (18").

Supplied in 7cm pots. If the long winter means you are behind with your planting, we can help you catch up! These garden-ready plants can be planted straight in to the garden or containers without the need for growing on.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
