What customers say
Customer enthusiasm centers on the exceptional aesthetic quality of the Begonia Upright Fimbriata Ruffled Red blooms. Gardeners consistently praise the vibrant, deep red color and unique ruffled texture, noting the flowers surpass visual expectations. Successful plantings yield robust, upright growth and prolific flowering, making them spectacular container additions. However, satisfaction is polarized by initial tuber viability. A significant number of reviews report receiving damaged or failed tubers, sharply reducing perceived value given the premium cost. Success appears highly dependent on both initial tuber quality and careful environmental management, such as consistent moisture and shade. Overall, this begonia offers high reward through stunning beauty when the initial planting succeeds.
