Professional Growing Information I ordered direct from PW and received 6 very tiny plants, nicely packaged, but still quite a bit of damaged leaves with one top totally broken off. A bit disappointing, but despite that, these plants are amazing! Not only have they performed beautifully in full sun, but they have survived three consecutive weeks of 100-110 degree heat and still look fabulous! They are currently about 14" tall in late July, looking healthy and blooming beautifully! I suspect they would be larger without this intense heat and should be really impressive later in the season! I will definitely order again next year!

Maintenance Notes:These plants are versatile working in both sun or shade, which makes them a wonderful unifying plant to use in both sun and shade beds. Unlike older begonias, these are quite vigorous. They can tolerate some drought conditions, but will look their best with more consistent moisture and regular feeding. They love the heat and do not need to be deadheaded to bloom all summer long. What's not to love!
Strong performance in the sun or in the shade! Here is a new series of begonias from Proven Winners® with large blooms and a strong upright habit that will work well for containers or in the landscape.
