Picotee Begonia Mix - Assorted Tuberous Flowering Bulbs

Overview of Picotee Begonia Mix

The Picotee Begonia Mix offers a selection of tuberous begonias characterized by their signature bicolored petals, where the edges of the bloom contrast with the primary petal color. These plants are suited for gardeners looking to add varied textures and colors to shaded outdoor spaces.

Growing Requirements and Care

To support healthy development, these begonias require well-draining soil to prevent moisture accumulation around the tuber. They perform optimally in partial shade, which helps maintain plant structure and prevents excessive stretching. Consistent monitoring of soil moisture is recommended to balance hydration needs throughout the growing season.

Planting and Seasonal Cycle

• Planting Depth: Place tubers with the concave side facing upward, covered by 1-2 inches of soil.
• Light Exposure: Prefers filtered light or partial shade; avoid direct, intense afternoon sun.
• Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings.
• Dormancy: As a tuberous perennial, these plants require a period of reduced watering and cooler temperatures after the flowering season to prepare for the following cycle.
