Plant retailers wanting to offer gardeners an eye-catching flowering plant that can cope with the alternating downpours and heatwaves of recent British summers can now order the new Begonia BONFIRE Choc Orange
The new release comes from Tesselaar International the horticultural management and marketing company.
The bright orangey red flowers of Begonia BONFIRE Choc Orange cover up to half the plant and are a stunning contrast for the dark chocolate/plum foliage with red serrated edges.
The easy-care begonia has a rounded, bushy habit, growing up to 60 cm wide and 60 cm high in the garden. It also looks sensational in patio pots and planters, and adds drama to larger hanging baskets.
The new variety comes into bloom in late spring and will continue to shower gardeners with masses of bright orangey-red flowers through the summer until the first frosts of late autumn.
BONFIRE Choc Orange is extremely low maintenance, can be grown in full sun or partial shade, and is not afraid of summer rains or drier summer conditions. It is drought-tolerant and heat hardy, and is generally resistant to pests.
