Splendide Ballerina Novelty Begonia

Ballerina’s large blooms beautifully merge the colours of peach, apricot, lemon yellow and cream. This is an upright grower but the blooms drape nicely over the edges of containers and window boxes. Splendid indeed!

Bring a bit of spice to your garden with these Belgium Novelty Begonias. Whether used as a contrasting colour in a mixed basket arrangement or planted alone in a patio display the softness of its full double blooms makes for a delightful show. To get a jump start on the growing season we recommend starting your tubers indoors for about 4 to 6 weeks. Remember, though, that Begonias are not winter hardy and cannot tolerate exposure to frost. In the fall, before the first sign of frost, dig up your tubers and place them in a loose bag of dry peat or vermiculite. Store them in a cool, dry place until replanting in the spring. Now larger sized bulbs!
