1. Begonia tubers for super flower heads and potted plants
These plants can have massive blooms and or large numbers of blooms on the same plant. They can be used in pots and containers or used for bedding.
There are new varieties being launched regularly. This year Thompson Morgan are selling a scented variety in pastel shade
2. Begonias fibrous roots for annual display
I like the red, white and pink flowers that grow on bedding begonias grown from seed. They have strong coloured leaves either dark red of lime green. They grow well in some shade and last until the first frost.
New varieties in the area include ‘Apricot Shades’ a trailing variety that I am trying for the first time this year.
3. Begonia Rex varieties with coloured or odd Shaped Leaves.
These display plants are grown for the leaf shape, texture and colour. They are used for Houseplants in the conservatory, greenhouse or home. There is often a number of colours mixed in swirls to create an individual looking plant that is very distinctive.
