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.
