What customers say
Customers who successfully grow the Double White Begonia find the mature, ruffled double blooms stunning, elegant, and a luminous highlight for shaded areas. The visual payoff is consistently exceptional. However, initial satisfaction is tempered by inconsistent tuber viability. Some received dried or nonviable bulbs, causing frustration and perceived wasted investment. Success requires patience and meticulous care; this is not an easy plant. While the genetic potential is high, the initial risk associated with tuber quality and the plant's demanding nature lead to a satisfied yet cautious overall sentiment. The value is excellent once established.
