Perfect with Little Effort
I planted these in a barrel last year (zone 7a/part shade/afternoon sun). I did nothing to them except toss some Miracle Gro on them and maybe watered them twice. They all bloomed and were huge & beautiful for a good long bit. I'll definitely plant these again. I have a large property and have planted a million things over the years. I am no real gardener though and am horrible about upkeep so more than a few things flop with me. These did not. If you like to have flowers growing but don't have much time for garden tending, these are for you!
Continuous blooms
Verified Buyer
Large and prolific blooms. But floppy due to the size of the flowers. Although it was a mixed bag, I got mostly yellow and red and yellow. No white. I rarely have success with begonias, but I am happy that these survived and bloomed.
NEVER BLOOMED
Verified Buyer
These NEVER BLOOMED!!! BEGONIAS HAVE ALWAYS THRIVED FOR ME, SO I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED AND SURPRISED.
Merchant Response
Thank you for sharing your review with us. We were sorry to hear the Superba Begonia Mix did not bloom. Two reasons for begonias not to bloom is not enough sunlight and too much nitrogen. We are delighted to let you know we guarantee our merchandise and we will be reaching out to you with a positive resolution.
Sad to Say
Verified Buyer
I regret to say my experience is in line with those reviewsI read prior to ordering. I assumed everyone else had made a mistake but I too got 3 growers out of 10. These were one pink and two yellows. I plan to order again but think all of us need better directions on how to turn hockey pucks into Begonias in pots.
