Begonia Hanging Basket Apricot

Free-flowering, Begonia 'Hanging Basket Apricot' is a tuberous perennial boasting attractive cascades of extra-large, 2-5 in. across (5-12 cm), fully double, apricot flowers. Blooming profusely from late spring to frost, they dangle with elegance from arching stems bearing green fleshy leaves adorned with serrated edges. The excellent branching habit of this tuberous begonia results in a superb floral display. A wonderful shade loving plant for containers and hanging baskets.
