Begonia 'Organdy Mix'

Begonia semperflorens 'Organdy Mix' | Rating: 0 votes | Print / Pdf

Extremely well named, this delightfully bushy plant has light and dark coloured leaves, ranging from dark green to light depending on the season. But it’s the blooms that have provided its name, with cream, deep and light pink flowers that grace it’s stems during the summer. Begonia semperflorens, as you’d expect of a girl on her wedding day, does require a little TLC to get the best from her. The Blushing Bride is a sun worshipper, so plant her in full sun or partial shade, and because of her delicacy she’s best suited to an indoor or conservatory location.
