Double Delight® Appleblossom exudes a sweet citrus-like fragrance from its large, abundant, white and soft pink bicolor blossoms on cascading stems. It performs well in full sun in the Northeast; southern growers will need to provide some afternoon shade. Increased sun tolerance makes this begonia versatile for use in containers, hanging baskets, window boxes and monoculture containers.
- 8-14 inches tall and 12-24 inches wide at maturity
- Annual except in zones 9-11
- Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily)
- Space plants 12-16 inches apart for best results
- Produces fragrant pink and white flowers from planting to frost
- Maintains dark green foliage spring through frost
- Great for containers, hanging baskets
- Fragrant flower, deadheading not necessary, long blooming
The Eco+Grande features nutrients embedded in the container walls, which help plants grow bigger and faster throughout the season when planted in the ground. Be sure to remove the tabs from the container before planting. If you choose to plant in a container, we recommend taking the plant out of the Eco+Grande, breaking it apart, and mixing it into the soil at the time of planting. When the Proven Winners Eco+Grande container is discarded in the garbage can, it will naturally break down faster in a landfill than a traditional petroleum made container. The container will get smaller and smaller until microbes consume it, turning it back into an inert organic product. Learn more about this on our blog.
Care: Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food. These begonias prefer moist but not wet, well draining soil. These are not hardy, but the corms can be dug up, stored for the winter and replanted the next spring.
