Nonstop Appleblossom Tuberous Begonia

Nonstop Appleblossom is a tuberous begonia with soft pink and rose-toned flowers in the Nonstop series. Syngenta describes this selection as a medium, upright plant for spring and summer flowering, with a semi-trailing presentation suited to patio pots and baskets. ## Cultivar and size The [Syngenta cultivar profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/emea/product/flower/70003206) gives a garden height and width of 20–25 cm (about 8–10 inches) and identifies the flower color as pink/rose. It lists mid- to late-spring and summer flowering. Use these breeder ranges as planning estimates; container culture and growing conditions affect the final spread. ## Siting Place in partial or full shade in a sheltered container or bed. Tuberous begonias grow best in partial shade and a loose, well-drained medium kept evenly moist; the [University of Minnesota Extension](https://extension.umn.edu/garden-and-home/yard-and-garden/gardening-in-minnesota/tuberous-begonias) notes they are not drought tolerant, and [Iowa State Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/faq/what-type-planting-site-do-tuberous-begonias-prefer) recommends shelter from strong wind and avoiding overly deep planting. In cold-winter climates they are generally treated as seasonal displays; lift and store tubers before freezing weather if you want to keep them for another year. A porous potting mix and drainage holes help prevent waterlogging. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist during active growth, but allow excess water to drain freely. Pinch or remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves for a tidy display. In climates with freezing winters, either grow it as a seasonal annual or lift and store the tuber after the foliage dies back; follow the [University of Minnesota Extension storage guidance](https://extension.umn.edu/garden-and-home/yard-and-garden/gardening-in-minnesota/tuberous-begonias).
