Petals edged in brilliant red.
Breck's® Dutch bulb experts have specially selected this carefree Picotee Begonia Mixture for its versatility and uncommon colours and textures. Our picotee begonias will captivate you with enormous camellia-like flowers, up to 15 cm across, boasting heavily ruffled petals—not the typical serrated edges found with common varieties. Plant these shade-loving begonias 25–30 cm apart in part to full shade and moist soil, and they'll flourish without a lot of pampering. Old blooms drop off as new ones appear, so you don't have to worry about deadheading!!
