Begonia Chanson Deep Red F1 seeds

The Pendulous Chanson Deep Red F1 Begonia, has the Latin name Begonia x tuberhybrida pendula Chanson Deep Red F1. It is a Begonia resulting from a rigorous horticultural selection focused on creating a variety with long and abundant double flowering resembling Camellia flowers.

The Begonias from which it originates live in a cool and shaded environment, protected from direct sunlight. The same conditions should be provided for its installation in our gardens, terraces, balconies, and windows.

Cultivate the Pendulous Chanson Deep Red F1 Begonia in a pot, in rich and moist soil. It is a semi-hardy perennial plant that is sensitive to temperatures below 5°C. Therefore, in autumn, the pots should be brought indoors, the foliage should be allowed to dry, and then the tubers should be extracted from the soil, brushed, and stored in a dry place until the following spring.

The plant develops long flexible stems that are 45 to 60 cm (17.7 - 23.6 in) long and rise to a height of 20-30 cm (7.9 - 11.8 in) before bending and cascading with flowers. Its leaves, typical of Begonias, are asymmetrical, dentate, with a shiny green color and slightly tinged with red along the edges. The hairy stems, tinged with red, contribute to the decorative beauty of its foliage.

From July to October, an abundant flowering covers a large part of the foliage. The flowers are large double or semi-double bell-shaped flowers, 5-10 cm (2 - 3.9 in) in length, and pendulous in bright red color.

Its pendulous habit is ideal for flowering pots on the terrace, flower boxes and hanging baskets on balconies and windows in shady areas.
