2014. Available May 2022, in 4½" pots, hanging

Description
Begonias are available in a
wide range of colours, shapes, and sizes. They are
one of the few types of flowers that bloom in the
shade, but they also tolerate sunny conditions.
Growing Guide
Extremely versatile, begonias are perfect
in containers and massed flower bed plantings. They
will thrive in both sun and part shade, and make an
excellent alternative to shade impatiens. Self
cleaning and maintenance free, fertilize lightly.

OOPS! Forgot to plant this year, sorry
Big showy plants with big showy blossoms!
BIGs perform so well, and have so much colour
throughout the summer that they far surpass
traditional begonias and other bedding plants.
Ideal massed plantings, or large containers.
