Description
Large stunning clusters of bright red flowers are displayed on this scrambling shrub which is rare in cultivation. One of the world's largest begonias, it can grow up to 3 m tall in its native haunts in the cloud and montane rainforests in Colombia and northwestern Venezuela.
This plant is listed as a half-hardy perennial. We believe it is hardy outdoors in zones 10 and up only. The plant can be brought indoors in the winter, as a stunning house plant, and will likely provide cherished blooms throughout most of the winter.
Location: Shade or part shade
Moisture: Regular to moist, does not like extended periods of drought.
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Seeds per pack: 5 very tiny seeds. The seeds are mixed with a fine sand to help with sowing and movement within the pack.
Germination: Start these seeds early indoors. Place on the surface of a sterile seed mix (do not bury them), and keep moist and warm (75-80F) until germination. Do not let the soil dry out, or it can end the germination process. A soil-mix formulated for starting seeds is important for begonia. The seeds take approximately 2-3 weeks to germinate at these temperatures. Lower temperatures can delay or prevent germination, so be sure to find a warm place in your home, or use a heating mat if you have one.
