Easy to Grow!
Begonias bloom all summer and fall until the first frost, and thrive without being pampered. They are ideal for partial or full shade, but may even be grown in sun. Plant 1" deep (just below the surface) in moist soil with the hollow side up. In beds and borders, plant tubers about 10" apart. For early blooming, start your begonias indoors and transplant when the plants are 2-3" high and danger of frost has passed. Pinch off side buds to produce larger blooms. During the summer, don't worry about pruning the many blossoms because when new blooms appear, old ones simply drop off! If you live in a cold climate, lift and store the tubers in a dry, dark and frost-free location for winter. Replant in the spring for an all-new explosion of colour.
Double, ruffled, giant 6-8" ruffled double blooms stand out atop strong 16-20" stems. In fact, these are the very largest of all upright begonias. Each bloom offers double the usual number of flower petals, all elegantly ruffled, spiraling toward a tight whirl of intense colour at the centre. These flowers are utterly charming in containers of all types — pots, pedestal planters, window boxes, whiskey barrels—and add extra flair around the patio, walkways or under shady trees.
This collection includes two each of White with Pink Picotee and Yellow with Red Picotee. Varieties are labeled for ease of planting.
- Picotee White with Pink: These remarkably large 6–8" double blooms combine pristine white petals with delicate pink picotee edges. This begonia’s dense, vigorous foliage provides the perfect backdrop for its long-flowering, pleasantly scented blossoms. Ideal for adding sophisticated charm to shaded borders, foundation plantings or container arrangements near patios.
- Picotee Yellow with Red: These head-turners feature delicately ruffled, fully double flowers in soft yellow with scarlet-red picotee edges that evoke a summer sunset. Perfect for adding drama to shaded borders, woodland gardens or container gardens, this begonia produces fragrant blooms throughout the growing season. Try planting in groups of three alongside hostas and ferns.
