Botanical nameBegonia × tuberhybrida (Double Camellia)

Double Camellia Begonia Mix (Begonia × tuberhybrida) produces a spectacular display of large, double camellia-shaped flowers in a vibrant mixture of colours. Their rounded, tightly layered petals form generous rosettes that stand out beautifully against textured green foliage. From June to October, new flowers appear continuously, bringing cheerfulness, volume, and refinement to shaded landscapes. Reaching 25 to 30 cm in height, this tuberous begonia has a compact habit well suited to containers. Perennial in Zone 10, it must be overwintered in a frost-free location under Quebec conditions.

Plant the tubers in spring after all danger of frost has passed, approximately 2 to 3 cm deep, with the hollow side facing upward. Place them in partial sun or partial shade in a rich, light, fertile, perfectly drained growing medium with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Keep the soil evenly moist without allowing it to become waterlogged, and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks during active growth. Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage the formation of new buds. Before the first frost, lift the tubers, allow them to dry, and store them in a cool, dry, frost-free location.

Ideal for shaded flower beds, borders, window boxes, and large containers, this mix creates varied, colourful, and luminous displays. It pairs beautifully with impatiens, fuchsias, lobelias, bacopas, and coral bells, which highlight the richness of its many colours. The flowers may attract some pollinators but are valued primarily for their outstanding ornamental appeal. They are also suitable for fresh bouquets, where their generous form adds volume and colour. This variety is not intended for consumption.

Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Planting depth

2 to 3 cm (1 in)

Best planting time

Spring

Propagation

Divide the tubers in spring once they have multiple growing buds. Stem cuttings may also be used for propagation.

Growing method

Plant the tubers in spring after all danger of frost has passed, positioning the hollow side upward. Cover them with 2 to 3 cm (1 in) of rich, light, perfectly drained growing medium. Space the tubers approximately 25 cm (10 in) apart. Choose a bright location in partial shade. Water gently after planting, then keep the growing medium evenly moist without excess moisture. Lift the tubers before the first frost and store them in a dry place during winter.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Soil pH

Slightly acidic to neutral

Minimum temperature

5°C (41°F)

Care level

Easy

Watering

Keep the growing medium consistently moist without allowing it to become waterlogged. Reduce watering as growth slows.

Soil type

Rich, light, fertile, and perfectly drained growing medium. A quality compost-enriched potting mix produces the best results.

Fertilization

Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks during active growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages foliage rather than flowers.

Seasonal care

Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Keep the growing medium evenly moist without excess water. Feed lightly every two weeks during active growth. Lift and store the tubers before the first frost.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Recommended pot size

30 cm (12 in)
Container gardening requires you to plan for the necessary root volume and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable growing medium. Leave enough space to allow for the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check for moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than plants in the ground. Therefore, plan for a wintering location from the outset that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate. Start tubers in spring in a light, well-draining substrate, placing their hollow side upwards. Water sparingly before shoots appear and ensure no water remains in the hollow. Keep young plants frost-free until conditions allow them to be moved outdoors. Choose a bright location protected from scorching sun and strong winds. In pots, keep the drainage holes clear and adjust watering to the foliage development. Gradually introduce plants outdoors to acclimate them to wind and light, without shocking new shoots. In winter, protect the container according to the plant's needs: its roots are more exposed to cold than those in the ground.
