Begonia ‘Picotee Sunburst’

Begonia ‘Picotee Sunburst’ is a begonia of classic elegance. It is a summer flower with large, rich blossoms that are a definite showstopper. The blooms are a bright yellow with crimson-red tips, and can be up to 6 inches across. The petals are delicately pleated and stand out against the foliage of deep green leaves. The plant is a semi-ruffled double blossom that measures 4-8 inches in diameter.

Tuberous begonias are cold-sensitive plants that need an early start to reach their full flowering potential. For this reason, the tubers are usually started indoors in late winter. With a two-month head start, your begonias will be ready to begin flowering almost as soon as you put them outdoors.
