Blooming Block Standard Mix Begonia Viking Cascade

A Blooming Block is a pre-planted, nutrient-rich substrate containing multiple established plants. To plant, simply place the entire block into your container or garden bed, cover the edges with a little potting mix or soil, and water it in thoroughly.

These are excellent for hanging baskets. The Viking Cascade varieties are specifically bred to trail, so they will spill beautifully over the sides of a basket or container as they grow.

These plants are versatile and thrive in full sun to part shade. If you live in a region with extremely hot summers, they will appreciate a spot that gets some afternoon shade to keep them from wilting.

While the block comes with nutrients, these are fast-growing annuals that will perform best with regular feeding. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks during the peak growing season to maintain their continuous bloom.

One block is perfectly sized for a 10- to 12-inch container. If you are using a larger planter, you can combine multiple blocks to achieve a fuller look faster.

Yes, they are designed for ease. Because the varieties are selected for uniform growth, you won't need to worry about one plant overtaking the others, and they generally do not require deadheading to keep producing flowers.
