'Mix'
Begonia
Begonia 'Samba Mix' is a vibrant collection of fringed, double-flowered begonias in pastel shades, including pale yellow, soft pink, pastel orange, and salmon. Blooming from midsummer until frost, these begonias thrive in partial shade to full shade and prefer rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Their lush green foliage provides a striking contrast to the delicate, ruffled blooms. Ideal for containers, hanging baskets, and shaded garden beds, they offer long-lasting color and texture. In colder climates, tubers should be lifted and stored indoors before frost to ensure a fresh display the following season.
