Description

Red, red, and more red—that's what you’ll get if you select Begonia 'Double Red' as your flower of choice for your summer garden and patio. These large, multi-layered blood red flowers will really make a statement at the front of beds and borders, but they'll be yelling it from containers close to the house or on the patio. And that statement will be one of bold confidence. Begonias don't do things in half measures. Despite the relatively low plant (about 30 cm or 1 foot), the slightly corrugated Begonia 'Double Red's flowers are plentiful and relatively large, measuring up to 15 cm in width, they will make a very colourful display.
