Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Crisp, clean and refreshing on the hottest day, with huge white flowers set against deep green foliage. Rose form tuberous begonias are smooth petaled, symmetrical, reliably double and decidedly three dimensional. They are also spectacular at 4-8". These bulbs are large (2-2.5" diameter) and remarkably well-priced. Expect a show stopping performance this season and into the future, if you choose to save the bulbs. You won't be disappointed.
