    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    New for 2017! An ultra-floriferous Begonia with brilliant 1-2” wide, open-faced, orange blooms that positively glow against dark green leaves. Growing to a dense 16” high and 12” wide with a semi-upright habit – it’s great in a container (5gal.+) and will keep the blooms a comin’ from Spring until first frost. Provide excellent drainage and allow to dry out between waterings. Goes Winter deciduous, at which point water should be withheld to keep the tuber happy and firm.
