Begonia - Spectrum Ann

$7.77

In cool or wet climates, consider growing your Spectrum begonias on a patio or in porch boxes. These plants perform best when soil temperatures are above 60°F and when planted in flowerbeds. This begonia is a cross between the winter flowering Begonia socotrana, and the summer flowering tuberous types of begonias. Too much shade however, may cause the plants to become soft and less prolific in bloom. The Spectrum Ann begonias are distinguished by their large, double flowers that are a light salmon pink color. The Begonia Spectrum Ann, 'Begonia x hybrida', are wonderfully floriferous plants that are at home in the garden, or in patio containers. They should not be subjected to more than ½ day of sun as they will not tolerate a full sun setting. These very vigorous Spectrum Begonias are excellent in porch boxes and hanging baskets. ... more information
