Odorata Begonia Mix
Transform shaded garden areas with the Odorata Begonia Mix, featuring a vibrant blend of pink, white, and red double blooms. These lightly fragranced flowers offer continuous color from summer until the first frost, complemented by lush, succulent green foliage. Ideal for containers on decks and patios, these tender tubers thrive in partial to full shade. While easy to grow, they require protection from frost and are best treated as annuals or overwintered indoors in colder climates. Enjoy a beautiful, low-maintenance display that brightens any shady spot.

What customers say
Customer satisfaction centers on the Odorata Begonia Mix's exceptional fragrance and vibrant, continuous summer color when the tubers establish successfully. Gardeners praise the resulting breathtaking display as a worthwhile investment. However, a significant concern is tuber viability. Many reviewers report receiving damaged or nonsprouting tubers, leading to frustration given the premium price. While shipping is reliable, the quality control for the live plant material appears inconsistent. The overall experience presents a high reward potential balanced by a moderate risk tied directly to the initial health of the stock received.
