Begonia 'Angelique'

I'm thinking of putting one of these Begonias in a hanging basket so the flowers can be seen better. The basket is about 30cm diameter - is 1 enough? #advice please 🙏😃

@agnes are you asking whether a 30-cm pot is large enough to hold this plant, or asking if will you need more than one plant to fill the basket properly?

If you look at the description for this plant it gives the width at 40cm so you could get away with one but if it was me I think I would put two in 🤔

I'm always one to plant on the heavier side! 😁

How many to put in a 30cm basket 👍 Think I'll go with 2! 😃 @emch

Thanks Jane and Kari, 2 it is! Don't want it to look sparse! 😄 @pelly @KariSamuel

Progress photo 6.5.21 Glad the #Begonias are returning - they seemed to take ages to get going last year 💗

Morning Ange 👋 Fantastic photo and the white sets off the detail perfectly!

Morning Angen👋 great photo👍

Thank you all 😃 @pelly @italydiva @jpea

Nice find Ange I haven't seen one all summer

This is the only one I've seen in a long time Alan 🙂 @alan1111 Used to see them all the time 🤷‍♀️

Same here Ange I use to see them but not this year I wonder why 🤔 @anges

No idea 🤷‍♀️ @alan1111

Update photo of these Angeliques. I really like them but should have planted them in hanging baskets - I'll know for next time 🙂🌸🤍🌸 30.8.20

I put some in a basket and I’m still waiting for them...☹️ they must have rotted by now...

Wow beautiful 👌

They're lovely, but if in a hanging basket the storms England and Ireland get might destroy it.

Oh that's a 🤬 Elaine! @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thanks BK @bks 😃👍

Thank you 🙂👍 @gjones

That's true! I'll have to see.... 😃 @jamescallifer

They look as if they're popping their heads over and saying "where the hell are we?" 😂

🤪🤪😂 yes, see what you mean! @craigh7

Inspired by @ukjohnny to try these. Two packs of 2 💗💗 🤞 #wilko planted 27.1.20

I must get some begonias this year 👍🏼

Haven't had Begonias before. My mum n dad have them and they always seem to do well and look really colourful. @richard.spicer.7906

Thanks to you 👍 @ukjohnny

Yay!! 😆 @ukjohnny
