Rieger Begonia | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
A cultivated hybrid of wax begonias and tuberous begonias, begonia x hiemalis gives you the best of both types. Its leaves are large, dark green and glossy, creating an attractively dense foliage. But it is the remarkable floral display of the rieger begonia, as it is also called, that is irresistible. Available in a variety of vivid colours, its stunning blossoms grow in dense clusters and boast large petals often in dense whorls like a rose. The rieger begonia thrives in moist but well-drained soil, preferably in partial shade, but dislikes wet and cold. When indoors, a second flowering can take place over the winter months, earning it the alternative name, the winter begonia.
