Late in the season, after most perennials have called it quits, this non-stop begonia variety shows its true colors. And oh, what colors they are! Lovely, big blooms in gorgeous shades of soft salmon, white and orange burst open to add plenty of elegance and beauty to darkened corners and shady sites. Begonia boliviensis produces tons of blooms over an extended period of time—from midsummer to the first frost of fall—making it a perfect go-to for many gardeners and landscape pros. This colorful mixture is great for patio pots, window boxes and hanging baskets. A progenitor of modern non-stop begonias.
