E.N. Coxhead Ltd is proud to be one of the UK’s leading growers of non-stop begonias. From our nursery in Whitestake, Preston, we cultivate tens of thousands of trays each season, supplying high-quality plants to a wide range of trade customers including garden centres, professional landscapers and local authorities. They are available in Treble 4 Packs and offered in a wide selection of colours. Current varieties include Mixed, Apple Blossom, Apricot, Deep Rose, Orange, Pink, Rose Petticoat, Scarlet, White, Yellow, and Mocca Mixed.
Gardeners choose our non-stop begonias because of their exceptional quality and versatility. We take great care to raise our plants under controlled conditions, using high-quality compost blends and monitored feed regimes to ensure robust plants with strong stems and prolific blooms. Our begonias perform equally well in sun or partial shade and thrive in moist, well-drained compost.
Non-Stop Begonias: cultivated from seed
Non-stop begonias are a popular variety of double-flowered tuberous begonia, cultivated from seed rather than from tubers, and complete their growth and flowering cycle within a single season, making them an excellent choice for seasonal displays.
Begonias are widely admired for their vibrant, showy blooms and extended flowering period, typically from late spring until the first autumn frosts. Non-stop varieties are particularly valued for their continuous flowering habit, producing dense clusters of double blooms without the need for deadheading. The plants bear both male and female flowers – with the male flowers being larger and more ornate – on the same stem, adding to their decorative appeal.
Long-lasting colour
With a compact, upright growth habit, non-stop begonias are ideal for pots, containers, borders and formal bedding schemes. While not trailing, they provide reliable structure and long-lasting colour. They perform well in a variety of conditions, thriving in both sunny and partially shaded positions, which makes them highly versatile for UK gardens.
For optimal performance, non-stop begonias should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular feeding is essential to support their prolific flowering – a fortnightly application of a high-potash fertiliser, such as Tomorite, will help maintain flower production throughout the season.
Whether you’re planting up a patio display or enhancing a commercial landscape project, our non-stop begonias offer professional quality, colour consistency and long-season impact, whatever your application.
