Begonia Camelia
B3560
Begonia 'Camelia' delivers an abundance of classic, ruffled rose-pink double blooms, that can reach up to 10 cm in diameter and feature copper tinted foliage. Our begonias flower for months on end, from May until at least September.
Begonias thrive best in light soil which is rich in leaf-mould, in a position in part shade where the layered flowers shimmer as they catch the light. Start in March or April, preferably in a cold frame or greenhouse.
Fill pots, hanging baskets, window-boxes, and borders with Camelia begonias for a show-stopping display. They can reach a flowering height of up to 20-30 cm.
de Jager's Begonia 'Camelia' tubers are top quality, top size and really make a huge difference in terms of flowering.
Care Guide
Begonia tubers should be started in March or April, in a cold frame or greenhouse.
Choose a pot with a 20 cm diameter and several holes in the bottom for drainage. Fill it with rich, good quality compost, leaving a 5 cm gap from the rim. Plant your Begonia tuber with the hollow side uppermost, ensuring it sits 2.5 cm below the soil surface. Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Place the pot undercover, in a shaded area with temperatures around 18-24°C and shoots will soon start to appear.
Once the danger of frost has passed, usually around the beginning of June, Begonias can be planted out.
In October, lift the tubers, remove faded foliage and store in a frost-free place, in dry compost or wood shavings.
