Begonia Belleconia Mango

The Belleconia Mango Begonia enhances the excellent series of trailing Begonias Belleconia with its lovely orange colour. This variety produces large double flowers in a warm and soft salmon-orange colour throughout the beautiful season. They bloom for 3 to 4 months on a plant that is both bushy and trailing, making it perfect for hanging baskets. In addition to its ornamental qualities, it is a heat-resistant variety that is easy to grow in partial shade or shade, requiring very little maintenance: the faded flowers eliminate themselves.

The 'Belleconia Mango' Begonia is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the begonia family. This variety is part of a series of recent hybrids, selected for their naturally compact and branched trailing habit, their floribundance, their imposing and double flowers, as well as their great resilience. The plants quickly reach a height of 30-40 cm (11.8 - 15.7 in) and cascade down to a height of 80 cm (31.5 in) to 1 m (3.3 ft). Their abundant and prolonged flowering period extends from June to September, despite the heat and bad weather. Their elegant flowers, 5 cm (2 in) wide, are fully double and composed of many small petals that form like a pompom on a row of larger petals. The plant also produces some simple and smaller flowers in a light salmon colour. The elegant leaves have a triangular elongated shape, with dentate edges, and are dark green, sometimes tinged with copper. The Belleconia begonias appreciate partial shade and morning sun, they tolerate rainy and cool summers as well as heatwaves, which do not prevent them from blooming abundantly if they are regularly watered. With these 'Belleconia' begonias, the faded flowers naturally fall off.

The Belleconia Mango Begonia is ideal for partial shade, both in the garden and in pots. It can be used in troughs, balcony planters, or hanging baskets, alone or mixed with other varieties in large hanging baskets. Begonias also thrive in well-maintained flower beds, alongside lighter flowers. Finally, it is good to know that there are hardy begonias, such as the Begonia grandis.
