Holland Bulb Farms Bouton de Rose Double Camelia Begonia

These begonias are excellent for containers. Their compact 10-inch height makes them well-suited for pots, window boxes, or hanging baskets where you can easily control the soil drainage.

They thrive in partial sun to full shade. Avoid planting them in direct, harsh afternoon sunlight, as they prefer cooler, shaded spots to keep their blooms looking fresh.

Yes, these begonias are naturally resistant to deer browsing. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, they are generally ignored by deer, making them a safer choice for gardens in areas with high wildlife activity.

They need well-drained soil to prevent the tubers from rotting. If you are planting in containers, use a high-quality potting mix; if planting in the ground, ensure the area doesn't stay waterlogged after rain.

These are bred for an extended bloom time. You can expect consistent color throughout the spring and summer seasons, provided they are kept watered and healthy.

While they are rated for zones 3-10, these begonias are tender tubers. In colder climates, you will need to lift and store the tubers indoors over the winter to protect them from freezing temperatures.
