This green leaf hybrid semperflorens begonia will grow to eight to ten inches and does well in sun or shade. We have chosen a brilliant scarlet as our initial color and will add other shades if this sells well. 35 seeds .95 842. An All America Select winner. It is the first tuberose begonia to be offered as a seed and it will bloom the first year, if given enough root space and indirect lighting.
Flowers are likely to appear late in the season.
Blooms are a brilliant yellow edged with flames of red extending 3 inches or more. They can easily be brought in for the winter to enjoy as a house plant. They can also be stored as you would any other begonia tuber. The rainbow variety is probably the most popular of coleus and this mixture includes the complete color band, from cream to deep scarlet. They do need to have the flower buds removed if you want them to stay compact.
