Begonia Nonstop Mocca CHERRY Pelletised Seeds

The Begonia varieties in the Nonstop® Range developed by leading German plant breeder Benary have won countless prestigious awards and are considered the gold-standard for bedding Begonia plants.

Begonia Nonstop® Mocca Cherry is a premium hybrid variety of tuberous begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida) grown for its classically beautiful flowers in enduring bursts of cherry red, set against the glossy deep burgundy leaves. In fact, Begonia Nonstop® Mocca Range is the only tuberous begonia variety with the stunning completely dark leaves, making this variety a unique and highly sought after potted colour variety. Begonia Nonstop® Mocca Cherry is a compact dwarf variety which means that it will grow to about 30cm to the top of the flowers, but will not grow much larger like many of the traditional species varieties commonly grown in cottage gardens.

Begonia Nonstop® Mocca Cherry is a premium heavy flowering variety of begonia tolerant of infrequent watering and is most commonly grown in garden beds as a bedding plant or in pots. Whilst Begonia Nonstop® Mocca Range can be grown as a semi-hardy perennial, it is considered an annual in regions subject to frost.

Seeds of the Begonia Nonstop® Mocca Cherry are supplied in the form of commercial-grade pelletised seeds for ease of handing and ensure improved germination results. Like most pelletised seeds, seeds of the Begonia Nonstop® Mocca Range are best started-off in small (~30mm) coir Jiffy pellets, ideally inside a suitable Plant Propagation Kit.
