Begonia Encanto Orange

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!
