Begonia boliviensis
The next step in seed raised garden Begonias. F1 Begonia Bossa Nova brings the Carnival to your containers. Full of flower and available in a range of 4 bright colours, F1 Bossa Nova is sure to add a new dimension to your bedding displays. Brilliant self-cleaning blooms cover the plant from late Spring until frost and the well branched plants with short internodes look stunning in a large container or hanging basket, either singly or as part of a combo. Available as pelleted seed, F1 Bossa Nova is the economical alternative to cutting raised Begonia. The large flowers and nonstop flowering makes Bossa Nova a great choice for any climate but will particularly thrive in warm situations, even where other Begonia have failed.
