Description

OnTop® Begonia 'Fandango' is a speciality hybrid begonia that produces double flowers of a beautiful pale salmon orange, with each petal having a scarlet-orange edge. Depending on when planted, the first blooms can appear as early as late spring, and they keep coming until the autumn frosts. The attractive, serrated heart-shaped leaves are dark green throughout the growing season!

⚠️ Please note:  OnTop® begonias grow from relatively small tubers, but these special varieties produce some of the most spectacular blooms. Don't be alarmed if the bulbs appear smaller than you expect from us good things come in small packages!

'Fandango' performs best, when grown in a patio container, windowbox or hanging basket, in either partial or full shade. It is easy to grow and care for, and simplicity itself to keep the flowers coming!

OnTop® Begonias are durable plants, early flowering, compact and heat tolerant with an exceptionally long blooming period. And remember, the more you feed Begonia × tuberhybrida 'OnTop® Fandango' during the growing season, the more flowers will be produced.
