#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. The green leaves will provide nourishment for the plant 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
Radiant double-ruffled blooms in brilliant red are dramatically highlighted by the glossy near-black foliage of these tuberous Switzerland Begonia plants! Add a few to your garden for that flash of color all season long with the help of NatureHills.com!
