Begonia 'Reiger'

Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness Rieger Begonias are sophisticated hybrids, resulting from a cross between tuberous Begonias (for large flowers) and Wax Begonias (for continuous blooming). The result is a compact, mounding plant featuring beautiful glossy foliage that serves as a backdrop for an extraordinary abundance of flowers. Rieger Begonias are modern hybrids, first developed in Germany by Otto Rieger, specifically bred to be outstanding houseplants that bloom profusely during winter months. Their genetics combine traits from various tropical and subtropical species. The most spectacular feature of the Rieger Begonia is its masses of unique, colorful blooms. The flowers are an interesting combination of both single and double-petaled forms produced simultaneously on the same plant. These dainty yet numerous blooms add constant cheer and exceptional color to any room, often available in brilliant shades of yellow, orange, pink, or red. Place near an East or West-fa
