About as hot and heady in the colours stakes as you can get. The ‘Brilliant Begonia boliviensis ‘Bossa Nova™ Night Fever’ Collection’ brings two enduring varieties each with jazzy flowers alongside dark and dramatic leaves. Green and purple, well branched foliage with short internodes emerges in March and is retained through to November time. Then, from May to October, an abundance of tubular flowers in almost luminous shades is borne continuously. All you need do is deadhead as flowers fade, if they do not drop themselves, to ensure further supplies.
Your ‘Brilliant Begonia boliviensis ‘Bossa Nova™ Night Fever’ Collection’ comprises ‘Papaya’ with its hot orange tones; and ‘Rosso’ with flowers in rich, fiery red. Plant in moist, well drained soil of any kind except alkaline or heavy clay. Position in either sun or shade and be sure to store them away from frost over winter as they are tender, tuberous perennials. Both varieties grow to a height and spread of 45cm and will trail to around 30cm.
