| Cultivation:
"Wax Begonias" are classified as fibrous
rooted Begonias. They are a compact Begonia that grows upright
with either green or bronze foliage. 'Harmony Mix' is a bronze
leaved variety. They branch freely and flower continuously
throughout the summer. Was Begonias are very
well suited to being grown in containers or beds. Container grown Wax
Begonia plants can be moved indoors to a sunny window or sun room before
first frost and carried over to next season.
Plant Wax Begonias in full sun to partial shade in fertile well drained soil
either in beds or containers. Space plant 6" - 8" apart.
"Wax Begonias" will grow best if planted in an area that
receives midday shade. Fertilize weekly with a balanced liquid
fertilizer. The 'Harmony' series tolerates heat and rain well and
is better suited to full sun than 'Prelude'.

Coral, Pink, Rose, Scarlet, White and a Mix.
