I planted some of these along with double white begonias, some Dusty Miller, caladium and lobelia in a planter that is in full shade on my front stoop. This is the first time I’ve grown begonias and I was super pleased with them! They flowered from early summer until frost in my 6a area. Blooms were big, beautiful and prolific.
This bulb is was small when planted, but emerged from the ground very large! I am excited to see what it will flower like this season!
I found Holland Bulbs via a Google search for Angelique begonia. The cost for their bulbs was significantly less than other sites. I placed an order for some begonia bulbs and then decided I wanted more bulbs. I placed the order for the new bulbs but realized they cost more than the original order (I think because they charge less the more you order). I contacted them and they were quick to respond. They cancelled the new order and added the bulbs to my original order for the same cost.
I planted them at end of March. They sprouted in about one month and now have beautiful leaves.
All three tubers arrived in perfect condition, with eyes that reached above the soil when planted. I am excited for these begonias to grow
