Angelique Fragrant Begonia
Brighten any shady spot with the Angelique Fragrant Begonia, a plant that offers romantic white blooms with a delicate pink blush. Its large, double blossoms create a beautiful cascading mound perfect for containers and hanging baskets. Unlike many begonias, these flowers are sweetly fragrant. They thrive in rich, well-drained soil with full to partial shade and prefer consistently moist, humid conditions. For the earliest and largest blooms, start tubers indoors before the last frost. This variety is winter hardy in zones 8-10, but requires overwintering indoors in colder climates.

What customers say
This begonia earns praise for its successful establishment and unique fragrance. Gardeners frequently highlight the beauty and size of the pink and white blooms, which significantly enhance shaded areas. A key positive is the quality of the tubers upon arrival and the high success rate of sprouting. While most confirm the sought after scent, some note it is subtle and best appreciated nearby. The primary concern involves inconsistent sprouting or plant fragility, especially in poor weather or with new gardeners. Overall, when the plant thrives, the value is excellent, delivering promised beauty and aroma. It is recommended for those wanting a unique aromatic addition to shade gardens who understand begonia care.
