Product description
Begonia Red Double is a vibrant tuberous perennial renowned for its large, double red flowers that bloom profusely from June until late October. These eye-catching blooms create a striking display in flower beds, borders, and large containers, adding a bold splash of color to any garden setting.
Thriving in full sun or light shade, Begonia Red Double prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil. Regular watering during dry spells and feeding with a balanced fertilizer will promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Its compact height of 20-30 cm makes it suitable for various garden applications, including patio pots and window boxes.

With proper care, Begonia Red Double will continue to enhance your garden with its stunning red blooms year after year.
