SANTA CRUZ BEGONIA Tuberous, Boliviensis

Giant orange-red flowers are produced in abundance on these tuberous begonias! Begonia plants are ideal for shade or part shade.

Tuberous begonias have an added appeal that they form large tubers that can be lifted in the fall, and stored for the winter! Pot-up bulbs in the late winter or early spring for next years flowers! In warm climates they are perennial.

These seeds are pelleted, which is a special coating that makes them larger for easier handing.
