Tuberous
Begonias
Immigrants
with Tradition
In Europe, tuberous begonias are considered immigrants because
they’ve only been around since the first half of the 19th
century.
Back then, they exchanged their tropical to subtropical
provenance
in the South American Andes for the
European climatic conditions
that range from
cold frost periods to “tropical” heat
periods.
Products of years of successful
breeding by Benary, the
tradi-
tional
German plant
breeders,
modern tuberous
begonias
feel most comfortable
here
now, proving this with a
fantastic show of colorful
flowers that lasts from
early summer right up
to the first frosts.
