WOW!
These are the biggest begonia flowers!
Amerihybrid™
Begonias are specially bred to give
you a bigger, better display of flowers.
These seedling-grown tubers
are produced from controlled hybrid
crosses and grow into exhibition-quality
plants with much larger, fuller double
blooms.
Most
begonias do best with plenty of filtered
light but little or no direct hot
sun. Try them in patio pots – begonias
are ideal in places where you spend
a lot of time outdoors in summer.
When you plant, be sure to use a very
coarse, fast draining planting mix,
since begonias are susceptible to
rot. Of course, the large amount of
air in that type of soil mix means
you'll have to water frequently in
hot weather.
And with such spectacular
blooms, these begonias are heavy feeders
so you must fertilize a lot. Use a
low intensity complete fertilizer
such as fish emulsion (5-1-1) early
in the season to get a large, healthy
plant. When blooms appear, switch
to a combination of 5-1-1  and
a bloom fertilizer (such as 0-10-10).
Look for these NEW Amerihybrid™ Begonias
in your better garden centers right
now, along with everything you need
to grow the biggest blooms on the
block!
While
much of the information in these tips
is applicable in several gardening
zones/climates, some of the plants
and timing suggested are best suited
to the Northwest, generally in the
mild/wet growing regions found along
the I-5 corridor. You should make
appropriate adjustments or consult
local gardening experts in regions
whose climates differ from this area
of the Northwest.
