Angelique Begonia is a newer variety of Begonia odorata. The white and pink blooms of this double variety will fill your garden or patio with a sweet fragrance, not found too often in begonias. This begonia works great in hanging baskets as well as containers. Like all begonias, this plant may require staking once the flowers start to bloom. Plant in a semi shady location for best results.
Tip for successfully growing tuberous begonias: Be sure to provide adequate water once the plant starts to grow, however make sure to not over water as begonias are sensitive to rot. The soil should be constantly damp during the growing period, but not drenched. Provide good drainage for the container/ground in which it is planted.
