Begonias

The Begonias we offer here are of the 'Ameri-Hybrid' type. A new range of Begonias from the American PanAmerican Seed. The aim of breeding these Begonias was to create even more colour impact for the flowering Begonia in pots and borders. They have succeeded exceptionally well.

The tubers of the Ameri-Hybrid Begonias are not that big, about the size of a Tulip bulb, but in terms of growth and flowering they are head and shoulders above the older range of Begonias.

Please try them once, they will amaze you with their endless and colorful bloom. How to best handle your Begonias can be read under Flower Bulb Information.

The Ameri-hybrid has also managed to pleasantly surprise me when it comes to reliability: she is easy enough to breed. Of the literally dozens of tubers I have planted in the garden and in flower pots, not one has disappointed me. They all keep on blooming, from June all the way into September.

Planting Begonias:
Plant the begonias with the hollow side facing upwards, just below the ground. A thin layer of soil of about 2 cm is sufficient. When planting in a border, keep a distance of 25 cm between the tubers. For pots, choose large pots, as a fully grown begonia needs a lot of space and water. A larger pot provides a better water buffer, which reduces the chance of drying out.
