Award-winning Begonia 'Fireworks' is a rhizomatous type that grows in an upright habit and is mostly grown for its vibrant foliage. This was created by American hybridiser Michael J. Kartuz in 1976. Using B. cathayana and B. ‘rex cv.’ He created a plant with large, bold leaves adorned with dark purple centers, purple-pink margins, and iridescent silver-white between.
Begonias are robust plants; they come in many sizes, colours and leaf shapes, and bear flowers for many months. This Begonia is sure to be an eye catcher with its super bright vibrant colours and silver hues.
Care Specks:
 |
These plants love partial shade outdoors or bright indirect light indoors |
 |
Allow it to mostly dry between waterings but not entirely |
 |
Give them well draining soil - adding about 20% to 30% perlite into your standard premium potting mix will do the trick. |
|
|
These guys are tropical/sub-tropical so prefer high humidity - dark brown, crisp looking marks on leaf edges are usually caused by low humidity. |
 |
Begonias rarely need trimming except to remove injured branches and old flower clusters. |
 |
Toxic to pets! |
|
|
These plants are moderately frost tolerant but begonias are easily killed by hard freezes. |
