Description

Begonia 'Fimbriata Red' will really have you seeing red - and it will have nothing to do with being angry. Instead you will be charmed by this small plant’s plentiful display of large bright red blooms that will bring to mind large, very frilly carnations. Its fringed petals are tightly packed and the resultant blooms soften the colour’s effect a little, taking the bright red off the boil and keeping it simmering for most of the summer!

Flowering of Begonia 'Fimbriata Red' bulbs will be prolonged if you remember to cut off the dead flowers as they fade. Plant them in tubs or planters, or use them on border edges.
