Begonia plants are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world and are known for their attractive foliage and bright, showy flowers. Begonias are really inspiring and dramatic – they’re garden classics. They come in a wide variety of colours and sizes, making them a popular choice for any type of garden applications – hanging baskets, planters or window boxes.
One of the unique characteristics of Begonias is their wide variety of leaf shapes and colours. Some species have textured leaves, while others have glossy or velvety surfaces. In addition to their stunning foliage, the blooms of begonias can range from clusters of delicate, bell-shaped flowers to massive double flowers.
In our Tried & True Garden Collection, the Joy series has large double flowers which make them showstoppers. The Orchid series has beautiful flowers, trailing habit and serrated foliage. The unique Begonia Gryphon is prized not for its flowers, but rather for his stunning foliage.
Generally, they prefer well-draining soil and filtered light, making them ideal for shady areas, but many of new varieties can tolerate sun.
Overall, begonias are a beautiful and versatile option for gardeners looking to add some colour and texture to their spaces.
