How to prune tuberous begonia 'nonstop'

Deadhead throughout the flowering season; cut back at season end (autumn). Snap or snip spent blooms at the stem junction to prevent botrytis. Do not deadhead the smaller female flowers (single, flanking the large central double bloom) — they drop on their own. At season's end, cut stems to a few centimetres above the tuber before storage.

Deadhead regularly throughout flowering; seasonal cut-back once in autumn. Tuberous Begonia 'Nonstop' blooms prolifically and benefits from deadheading to keep it tidy. Remove spent double flowers to prevent rot and encourage continuous blooming. At the end of the season, cut foliage back once it yellows and dies down naturally before lifting and storing tubers. No hard structural pruning is needed mid-season.
