]]> All begonias are very popular due to the mass of flowers they produce all summer long, but the Mocca mix is real favourite due to it’s dark velvet brown to purple leaves as well as its’ variety of strong colours. Easy to grow and happy in most locations, sun or shade, tubs, borders and beds. There’s the added advantage of the tuberous nature of its roots which make it a perennial if you take care to protect it from frost, either dig the tubers up and store in a cool dry place, or the whole pot, otherwise fleece and cover to protect from cold and water logging. Greenhouse Product News recommend nitrate rather than ammonium nitrogen with increased levels of calcium to improve plant quality.
