It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas? (Begonia)
Posted by John Friel on Sep 28th 2021
The Dog Days are past. Bring on the Holidays!
We’re known for hardy grasses and perennials, but we have a tender spot for irresistible tender plants. And the breeding wizards at Terra Nova Nurseries have outdone themselves – again! – with their world-class Begonias.
These multi-purpose beauties are sensational as houseplants, in mixed containers, or in the shaded summer border. And they shine brightest as seasonal decor.
We couldn’t resist them. Your customers won’t either!
