Begonia 'Picotee Lace Red'
Tuberhybrida Begonia 'Picotee Lace Red', Laced Tuberous Begonias
Begonia 'Picotee Lace Red' is an indefatigable bloomer producing myriads of magnificent and huge, semi-ruffled, double flowers, up to 6 in. across (15 cm), from midsummer to frost. Delicately pleated, the warm red petals are adorned with white lace at their tips and stand out against the foliage of deep green leaves. Compact and heat tolerant, this Begonia deserves a spot in your beds, borders, window boxes, containers and hanging baskets, and will reward you with constant cheerful notes of summer color!
- Typically forms bushy mounds up to 12-14 in. tall (30-35 cm) and 12-16 in. across (30-40 cm).
- Best in fertile, well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil in partial shade. Provide good air circulation and protect your Begonia from strong winds!
- Ridiculously easy to grow, deer and rabbit resistant, and care-free!
- Tender perennials, Begonias are not winter hardy. In cooler areas than zones 10-11, 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.
