Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Tuberous Begonia does best in full-shade locations in warmer climates and partial shade in cooler growing zones. Provide consistent moisture and well-drained organic soil, and monthly fertilizer during the warmer season to support those big blooms. Deadhead the withered flowers to encourage new blooms. But keep the leaves until they turn brown before removing them so they can provide nourishment for the tubers for the remainder of the growing season.
- Partial Shade to Full Shade
- Organically Rich Soil
- Regular Consistent Moisture
- Regular Fertilizer & Deadheading
- Annual Accent or Houseplant
