Description
Begonia AmeriHybrid® Ruffled Apricot is a stunning tuberous begonia, known for its rich apricot-coloured blooms that add depth and warmth to any garden. The large, intricately ruffled flowers, reaching up to 20 cm in diameter, offer an elegant and sophisticated display that demands attention. Whether used in containers, borders, or hanging baskets, this variety ensures a luxurious splash of colour throughout the growing season.
The deep green, textured foliage serves as the perfect backdrop for the vibrant apricot blooms, creating a beautiful contrast and adding balance to your garden. Growing to a compact height of 35-50 cm, Ruffled Apricot is ideal for smaller spaces while still providing bold visual impact. Its long-lasting flowers bloom from late spring through autumn, ensuring consistent beauty throughout the season.
What makes Ruffled Apricot truly special is its delicate, almost ethereal petal structure. The slightly translucent petals reflect light in shaded areas, creating soft variations in colour and bringing subtle elegance to your garden. Unlike many other begonias, this variety excels in partial shade, thriving in areas where other plants may struggle.
Easy to care for, Ruffled Apricot thrives in rich, well-drained soil and requires regular watering. Its robust nature and prolonged flowering make it the perfect choice for gardeners who want reliable beauty without excessive maintenance. Supplied as premium-grade tubers, Ruffled Apricot offers a rewarding growing experience and a breathtaking visual display.
