Begonia 'Ruffled Apricot' is an indefatigable bloomer producing myriads of magnificent and huge, semi-ruffled, double flowers, up to 5-9 in. across (12-22 cm), from midsummer to frost. Delicately pleated, the pastel orange petals 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 14-20 in. tall (35-50 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 9-11, dig up the tubers before the first frost and store them dormant in a cool dry place over winter. 
• Plant your Begonias in spring after the last threat of night frost, approximately 6 in. apart (15 cm) and slightly below the soil line (they rot easily when planted too deep). Many people start up begonias indoors 4 - 6 weeks before planting them outdoors to get a "jump" on the season and produce earlier blooms.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
