Description
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.
Type: Perennial
Hardiness zones: 8-11 outdoors. In colder climates bring bulb indoors for winter.
Location: Shade or part shade
Moisture: Regular to moist, does not like extended periods of drought.
Seed size: Pelleted
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Seeds per pack: 3
Germination: A sterile seed-start mix is ideal for these tiny seeds. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil, and water in. Do not bury the seeds as they require light to germinate. Keep lightly moist and do not let the soil dry out. A heat mat or warm room (25C, 79F) is beneficial until germination begins, and then they should be placed at 20-22 °C, 68-72 °F in an area with good air circulation (no cover). Seeds germinate within 15-30 days.
