Begonia 'Encanto Orange'

Begonia boliviensis 'Encanto Orange', Tuberous begonias


A favorite of many for its spectacular display, award-winning Begonia 'Encanto Orange' produces masses of vivid, reddish-orange blossoms held on bright red stems amongst delicately pink-edged, glossy green foliage. It is perfect for vertical gardens with its eye-catching and elegant cascades of fiery red, elongated flowers resembling fuchsias. Heat tolerant, introduce this trailing Begonia to your containers and hanging baskets, and you will be rewarded with bright notes of color throughout summer and fall!

  • Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society for its noteworthy qualities.
  • Enjoying continuous blooms from late spring to fall, this Begonia typically grows up to 12-18 in. tall (30-45 cm) and 18-24 in. across (45-60 cm).
  • Prefers locations that have partial shade and light, rich, moist, and well-drained soils. Full shade is tolerated, but expect fewer (but larger) flowers and lower growth. Provide good air circulation and protect your Begonias from strong winds!
  • Ridiculously easy to grow and carefree.
  • This Begonia is not winter hardy. In cooler areas than zones 9-11, dig up the tubers before the first frost and store them dormant in a cool dry place over winter. 
  • Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
