Begonia Midnight Beauty Orange, bears the Latin name Begonia x tuberhybrida Midnight Beauty Orange. It is a tuberous hybrid Begonia specifically selected for the colour of its chocolate foliage contrasting strongly with its orange flowering.
Â
This Begonia has an upright and bushy habit reaching a height of 30 cm (12in) with a width of 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12in). Its leaves, typical of Begonias, are asymmetrical and dentate, but of a beautiful chocolate colour. The hairy, reddish-brown stems contribute to the decorative beauty of its foliage.
From July to October, an abundant orange flowering covers a large part of the foliage. The flowers are large double or semi-double bell-shaped flowers measuring 5-10 cm (2-4in).
Begonias from which it originates live in a cool and shaded environment sheltered from direct sunlight. But this remarkable variety can thrive both in full sun and in a shaded location.
Its bushy habit is ideal for flowering in borders, in pots on the terrace, and in hanging baskets on balconies and windows.
Cultivate Begonia Midnight Beauty Orange in pots or in borders, in rich and moist soil. It is a semi-hardy perennial plant that is sensitive to temperatures below 5°C. Therefore, in autumn, the clumps or pots should be brought indoors, allowing the foliage to dry before extracting the tubers from the soil, brushing them, and storing them in a dry place until the following spring.

Botanical data
Attention: The seeds of Begonia are very small, carefully open the packet on both sides with a pair of scissors.
Sow Begonia Midnight Beauty Orange from February to March in a seed tray. Use a good quality soil that you will sieve on the surface to bind the seed to its substrate. Before sowing, lightly press down the soil with a plank and lightly moisten it. Sow your seeds delicately. Do not cover the seeds. Water with a very fine rain or with a small hand sprayer. Place your seed tray in light, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 25°C (77°F) to 27°C (80.6°F).
The seeds will take from 15 to 60 days to germinate. As soon as the plants are manageable, transplant them into 7cm (3in) pots. Keep the soil moist but not excessively during growth. Then, 15 days before their final placement, start gradually acclimatizing them to a temperature of 15°C (59°F).
By the end of May or beginning of June, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant your young plants. Choose a shaded or sunny location. Add a good handful of compost to each planting hole. Space your plants 20cm (8in) apart.
Regularly remove faded flowers to maintain beauty and promote renewal.
In autumn, bring the pots indoors and let the foliage dry before extracting the tubers from the soil, brushing them, and storing them in a dry place until the following spring when they can be replanted in pots.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
