Begonia boliviensis Mixed Colors
Begonia boliviensis Mixed Colors
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.

BEAUTIFUL!
Very satisfied with this begonia. I am ordering them again.they make a beautiful windowbox.
First choice plant for deer in my garden
These grew well altho the flowers were not as prolific as would have liked. However, the deer loved these plants - which did recover and grow again to be eaten again. Bulbs were healthy unlike other begonia bulbs I ordered that did not grow at all, just sprouted and then rotted.
Nice colorful begonia
All 5 sprouted with a mix of 3 that were red and 2 that were pink/salmon. They were a great addition to my potted begonia garden of 50 plus plants. They look just like the ones pictured. I will be ordering more to use in my hanging baskets.

Still waiting
Verified Buyer
Did not bloom .... I ordered several of these for 2 pots and they did not even break the dirt.
Non Stop Blooms
Verified Buyer
One of my favorites. These didn't disappoint. I was happy to find both white and pink in the mix. Strong, healthy tubers produced great plants that bloomed all summer, even in partial shade. Recommend.
Not so deer resistant
Verified Buyer
Pretty, but they weren't as deer resistant as advertised.
Not up to expectation
Verified Buyer
Nice size bulbs starting to bud when received, grew well, but disappointing when they bloomed. A double order, 10 bulbs, nine of them producing orange flowers, one white ,no pinks or reds. Did not last long, only one stalk in bloom now near end of season.
