A member of the Nonstop® Joy series, Peaches & Dreams, an F1 hybrid, is a tender perennial (winter hardy in Zones 10-11), typically grown as an annual, that blooms heavily and continuously from late spring to early fall. Showy and colorful, Nonstop Joy Peaches & Dreams blankets graceful cascades of shiny dark green foliage in extra-large cream, yellow, white, and rose picotee double blooms throughout the season.
Nonstop Joy Peaches & Dreams is a tuberous begonia with a compact, semi-trailing habit, dense with foliage and flowers. The multistemmed, pendulous hanging plants have excellent branching for a fuller effect in beds and borders as well as in mixed containers and hanging baskets, outdoors or indoors.
Easy to grow, begonias grow best in full shade to dappled shade locations with rich, organic, well-draining soils, protected from strong winds. They stand up to heat and rain and are unbothered by most pests, including deer and rabbits.
Direct sow begonia seed into the garden in spring after the chance of frost has passed and the soil has warmed or start seeds indoors 8 to 12 weeks before the last frost date and transplant. If you plan to start your seeds indoors, be sure to check out our Bio Dome Seed Starter Kit. With the Bio Dome, you can control the temperature, light, and soil mix to ensure your seeds become strong for transplant.
This seed comes as a pellet. Pelleted seeds are small seeds that have been clay-coated to make them larger and more uniform in size and shape, making them easier to handle when planting.
