An explosion of colours for the garden, balcony and terrace

The Begonia tuberhybrida F₁ Illumination® Mixture is an impressive trailing begonia from the Illumination® series, known for its powerful F₁ hybrid qualities and abundant blooms. This colorful mixture offers a combination of yellow, red, orange, pink, and apricot flowers, creating a vibrant and cheerful color palette that will instantly brighten up any outdoor space.

Thanks to its long flowering period, trailing habit, and easy care, the Illumination® Mixture is perfect for balcony boxes, patio pots, hanging baskets, and mass plantings. It combines professional performance and ornamental value in a single plant.

Powerful F₁ hybrid with long flowering period

The Illumination® Mixture belongs to the latest generation of F₁ tuber hybrids, which means uniform growth, strong branching, and reliable flowering. The plants develop well-branched, trailing stems of 40–60 cm, abundantly covered with large double flowers of 6–8 cm.

Flowering begins early in the season, usually from May onwards, and continues until the first frost. The Illumination® series is known for its excellent performance in partial shade, making this mixture an ideal choice for both amateur gardeners and professional growers.

Key Features:

• 🌞 Rich flowering from May to October

• 🌿 Trailing growth habit – ideal for baskets, pots and patio pots

• 🌸 Double flowers in a mix of warm colours

• 🌧️ Weather resistant and low maintenance

Colorful flowers in harmony

The power of the Illumination® Mixture lies in its diverse color palette. The flowers range from warm yellow and apricot to bright red, orange, and pink, creating a vibrant and dynamic look.

The trailing stems overlap, creating a rich, eye-catching cascade of flowers. This begonia is largely self-cleaning, so wilted flowers disappear automatically and new blooms continue to appear.

Thanks to the mix of colours, this variety is perfect for colourful borders, hanging baskets or patio pots, and combines well with other summer flowering plants such as lobelia, bacopa or fuchsia.
