The rose-like flowers sit above glossy green foliage, creating a wonderfully colourful plant that makes an immediate impact indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied in a generous \u003cstrong\u003e14cm diameter nursery pot\u003c\/strong\u003e at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e30cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, ‘Hailey Sunset’ has a naturally full, rounded shape and an abundance of flowers and buds. Introduced by specialist Dutch breeder Koppe Begonia, it is a particularly lovely choice for bringing long-lasting colour to a windowsill, side table or bright room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes ‘Hailey Sunset’ Special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a single-coloured Begonia, the double flowers of ‘Hailey Sunset’ blend several warm tones together, with shades of salmon, pink, yellow and orange creating a beautiful sunset effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are fully double and rose-like, reaching around \u003cstrong\u003e5–5.5cm across\u003c\/strong\u003e, with new buds continuing to open over an extended period when the plant is kept in good conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight \u0026amp; Position\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegonia ‘Hailey Sunset’ grows best in \u003cstrong\u003ebright, filtered or indirect light\u003c\/strong\u003e. An east- or west-facing windowsill is ideal, or place it a little further back from a brighter window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid prolonged strong direct sunshine, particularly through glass, as this can scorch the foliage and flowers. It will tolerate slightly lower light, although flowering is generally best in a bright position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the compost \u003cstrong\u003elightly and consistently moist\u003c\/strong\u003e while the plant is actively growing and flowering, allowing the surface to begin drying slightly before watering again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Avoid leaving the nursery pot standing in water, but do not allow the compost to become completely dry for prolonged periods either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTry to water the compost rather than pouring water over the leaves and flowers, as Begonias can be susceptible to fungal problems if the foliage remains wet for extended periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHumidity \u0026amp; Temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegonias appreciate \u003cstrong\u003emoderate humidity\u003c\/strong\u003e, but avoid frequent misting directly onto the foliage or flowers. Good air circulation is more useful than keeping the leaves constantly damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNormal warm household temperatures suit ‘Hailey Sunset’ well. Aim for around \u003cstrong\u003e15–22°C\u003c\/strong\u003e and protect the plant from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed regularly during periods of active growth and flowering using a liquid feed formulated for flowering houseplants. A feed with a relatively high potassium content can help support continued flower production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the dilution and frequency recommended on the fertiliser packaging rather than feeding heavily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlowering \u0026amp; Deadheading\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove faded flowers and any yellowing foliage regularly to keep the plant looking fresh and encourage the remaining buds to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGently pinch or cut spent flowers away cleanly rather than allowing them to accumulate among the foliage, as this also helps improve airflow around the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan It Be Kept After Flowering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Although flowering Begonias are often enjoyed as seasonal plants, ‘Hailey Sunset’ is a \u003cstrong\u003etender perennial\u003c\/strong\u003e and can be kept beyond its initial display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the main flush of flowers has finished, continue to provide bright indirect light, reduce feeding slightly and remove tired growth. With good care, the plant can produce fresh growth and further flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan It Grow Outdoors in the UK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the warmer months, ‘Hailey Sunset’ can also be used as a colourful patio or container plant in a \u003cstrong\u003esheltered, partially shaded position\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWait until all risk of frost has passed and introduce the plant gradually to outdoor conditions. It is frost tender, so bring it back indoors before temperatures become cold in autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful fully double, rose-like flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnusual blend of salmon, pink, apricot and orange tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenerous 14cm plant with a full, rounded shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces an abundance of flowers and developing buds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrings instant colour to a bright indoor space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan flower for an extended period with good care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan also be enjoyed outdoors during warm summer weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePet \u0026amp; Child Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegonias are \u003cstrong\u003eharmful if eaten\u003c\/strong\u003e and contain soluble calcium oxalates, with the underground parts containing the highest concentration.
