More BEGONIAS for the 2012
SEASON
|
    
Here is the second page of wonderful Begonia hybrids and species. The BEGONIAS remain unrivaled as house & conservatory plants, so much so that demand outstripped our ability to keep up with several of the larger hybrids last season! The codes with each entry below help you identify the overall growing habits of our offerings:
(c) indicates cane-stalked "Angelwing" types,
(rz) is rhizomatous with sturdy surface stems;
(semp) abbreviates sempervirens, the "Wax Begonias," while
(s) (sh) stands for shrubby branched types;
(t-s) indicates trailing or scandent (climbing) growth habits, and
(rex) refers to the brilliantly foliaged "Rex Begonias" with their frustrating dormant spells, while
(tuberous) refers to the caudiform group (not the florist/garden center winter dormant types). As this diversity can be bewildering if you do not have access to a plant handbook, fuller descriptions can be found in various of the plant books we offer for sale.
Please advise us whether you prefer Begonias for your conservatory, light garden, windowsill, terrarium, baskets, or outdoor bedding so we can pick those most likely to flourish in your specific situation. Do NOT specify specific names if ordering a collection--the selection changes nearly every week. If you want a specific species or hybrid, order it individually. We hope to bring back various of our old standbys later this season--but haven't we promised this before? Demand has been considerable of late; resultingly, several stock plants need to regrow before entering a propagation cycle once again. A number of new (to us) selections appear below:
