Begonia semperflorens ‘Fiona Red’ (American Takii)
The Fiona Series includes Red and Rose. The series features great performance not only in gardens or landscapes, but also in containers. This semi-double type presents strong, upright blooming flowers. Plants are self-cleaning and provide continuous color throughout the summer until the first frost. Fiona Red is a Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner for 2019.
The Greenhouse Grower team will once again be headed to the West Coast for the 2019 California Spring Trials, which take place March 23-27. Begonias and petunias will be among the many new annual varieties on display this year. Check out the slideshow above for a closer look at some of the new intros you can expect to see.
