Illumination Apricot Tuberous Begonia

Illumination Apricot is a named tuberous begonia with a compact mounded habit and stems that trail as they grow. Its summer flowers and cascading form suit baskets, window boxes, and patio containers. ## Form and display The [Ball FloraPlant listing for Illumination Apricot](https://info.ballseed.com/webtrackplantinfo.aspx?ENV=P&phid=009400735000290) describes a plant 4–8 inches tall and 24–30 inches wide, with mounded and trailing growth. The published range gives a useful planning guide; allow room for stems to extend beyond the container. Ball lists partial sun and medium water for this exact selection. ## Growing conditions Place the container where the plant receives partial sun, and water moderately during active growth. A basket or window box can display the trailing stems, while a patio planter gives the plant room to spread. Maintain suitable moisture in the growing medium and provide drainage so water does not collect around the roots. ## Maintenance Check the plant regularly during its flowering season, keep moisture consistent, and remove damaged growth as needed. Leave open space around the container so the trailing stems remain visible and are not crowded by neighboring plants.
