AmeriHybrid® Dinnerplate Begonias are remarkable, the crowning achievement of years of research and breeding. Their blossoms measure 8 or more inches in diameter and have beautiful form. Their colors are so luminous they seem to glow in the darkest shade, and just one of our 2.5-inch tubers will easily fill a 10-inch pot. The Dinnerplate Collection includes Ruffled Salmon, Picotee White with Pink Edge, Ruffled Orange, Ruffled Apricot, Roseform Peach, and Picotee Sunburst. They revel in deep shade; grow easily in pots or planters, and all six produce super-sized flowers on full, lush mounds of foliage. Use Dinnerplate Begonias to light-up dark corners of the garden, lend a tropical air to shaded patios, and to thoroughly impressyour friends. Scentiment® Begonias are unlike any other current-day tuberous begonia. They are modern hybrids, but their breeders have reached back to the heirloom begonias to recapture the fruity sweet fragrance that begonias once had. Pink Blush is an especially beautiful Scentiment® selection. Its 4-5" roseform blossoms are a delicate pure white with pink edges. The plant is exceptionally free-branching, so a single tuber can fill a 10-inch pot with a lush mound of foliage covered with lovely, fragrant flowers. Grow them in containers or any shaded location in the garden. Its tropical beauty, clear colors, and sweet fragrance will make it one of your most-enjoyed flowers.
