Crispa begonia tubers
Crispa begonias make colour work at the edge of the flower. Their summer blooms combine a lighter main petal colour with a deeper contrasting margin, including combinations such as gold edged in crimson and white traced with pink. The result is a clearly defined flower in which the outline matters almost as much as the colour filling it.
Their detail makes Crispa begonia tubers particularly well suited to pots and positions near paths or seating, where the individual blooms can be seen rather than disappearing into a distant border. Start them frost free in spring and give established plants bright, filtered light with protection from harsh midday sun. Keep the compost or soil consistently moist during growth, but never saturated.
Flowering continues through summer when plants are kept watered and faded blooms are removed. Use one colour combination repeatedly for a more measured display or bring different Crispa begonia shades together and let the contrasting margins become the link between them. As with other tuberous begonias, lift and store the tubers dry and frost free before winter conditions set in.
