Horti Tops® Begonia Semp. F1 Hybrid White Comet

Begonia Semp. F1 Hybrid White Comet (Begonia semperflorens)

The Indestructible Flower

Wax begonias are among the toughest, most reliable flowering plants you can grow. They tolerate sun, shade, heat, humidity, and occasional drought. They bloom continuously from planting until frost with no deadheading. For low-maintenance color, nothing beats them.

Adaptable to Any Light

Wax begonias adjust to light conditions:

In shade: Leaves stay green, plants may stretch slightly.

In sun: Bronze-leaved varieties develop deeper color; green-leaved types may bleach.

Best performance: Part sun usually produces the best combination of flowers and foliage.

Edible Beauty

Wax begonia flowers are edible with a pleasant, slightly sour, citrusy flavor. They make attractive garnishes. The waxy petals hold up well and add color to salads and desserts.

Growing Wax Begonias

Plant after last frost. Space 20-25cm apart. They need well-drained soil – they can rot in soggy conditions. Virtually pest-free. Can be overwintered indoors as houseplants in cold climates.
