What customers say
Customers are delighted when the Picotee Begonia Mix succeeds, praising the stunning two tone coloration and vibrant, long lasting blooms, especially in shade. The potential for a show stopping garden is high. However, the primary issue centers on tuber viability. Many reviewers report significant disappointment due to tubers arriving damaged, moldy, or failing to sprout. This inconsistency in germination rates heavily impacts perceived value. Gardeners who receive healthy stock rate the mix exceptionally well, noting the unique beauty. Improving tuber health upon delivery is key to boosting overall customer satisfaction and capitalizing on this begonia's undeniable visual appeal.
