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).

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. |
