Begonia pendula Apricot Shades Improved F1 seeds

The pendulous Apricot Shades Improved F1 Begonia, has the Latin name Begonia x tuberhybrida pendula Apricot Shades Improved F1. It is a Begonia resulting from rigorous horticultural selection focused on creating a variety with long and abundant double flowering resembling Camellia flowers.

The plant develops long flexible stems measuring 30-45 cm (11.8 - 17.7 in) in length, which rise to a height of 20-30 cm (7.9 - 11.8 in) before bending and cascading with flowers. Its typical Begonia leaves are asymmetrical, dentate, with a bright green color and slightly red-tinged edges. The hairy stems, tinted with red, contribute to the decorative beauty of its foliage.

From July to October, there is abundant flowering covering a large part of the foliage. The flowers are large double or semi-double bell-shaped blooms, measuring 5-10 cm (2 - 3.9 in). Their color is particularly remarkable, combining an apricot hue with lemon yellow.

The Begonias from which it originates thrive in a cool and shaded environment, protected from direct sunlight. However, this remarkable variety can also thrive in full sun or in a shaded area.

Its pendulous habit is ideal for decorating pots on the terrace, hanging baskets and containers on balconies and windows.

Cultivate the pendulous Apricot Shades Improved F1 Begonia in a pot, in rich and moist soil. It is a semi-hardy perennial plant that is sensitive to temperatures below 5°C. Therefore, in autumn, it will be necessary to bring the pots indoors, allow the foliage to dry, and finally extract the tubers from the soil, brush them off, and store them in a dry place until the following spring.
