Species and varieties: Begonia is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Begoniaceae. The red double begonia is a popular variety known for its vibrant red, double-petaled flowers. It belongs to the tuberous begonia species (Begonia × tuberhybrida).
Hybrid or heirloom: The red double begonia is typically a hybrid variety, bred for its ornamental qualities such as flower color, size, and form. Hybrid begonias are often preferred for their vigor and disease resistance.
Pruning and training: Regular deadheading of spent flowers will encourage continuous blooming. Pruning is generally minimal, but removing any damaged or diseased foliage is recommended to maintain plant health.
Fertilization needs: Begonias benefit from regular feeding with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to leggy growth and reduced flowering.
Hardiness zones: Red double begonias are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9-11. In cooler climates, they are often grown as annuals or in containers that can be brought indoors during the winter.
Climate requirements: Begonias thrive in warm, humid conditions with temperatures ranging between 60-75°F (15-24°C). They prefer partial shade to filtered sunlight, as direct sunlight can scorch their leaves and flowers.
