This glorious, glowing star will ignite your garden, flooding your baskets and borders with an intense warmth and the calypso carnival vibe! Begonia boliviensis ‘Starshine Calypso’ produces myriads of star-shaped pendulous flowers in shades of peach and yellow, which dance around the rich green foliage. A fantastic party pleaser! The jamboree of warm sunset hues of Begonia boliviensis ‘Starshine Calypso’ keeps the festivities going all summer long and well into the autumn. They won’t stop until Jack Frost sings!! A perfect choice for your summer baskets, pots and containers where the impressive semi-trailing habit can be fully appreciated. No deadheading required, super low maintenance. This deciduous begonia will grow vigorously in either full or partial sun with moist, well-drained soil of any kind except heavy clay.
