    Features

    If you’ve enjoyed our classic Surefire® begonias with their upright arching form, consider this unique trailing selection that is gorgeous in large hanging baskets and upright containers. It forms a full, lush canopy of glossy green foliage against which the large, vibrant red flowers really pop. Flowering non-stop without deadheading from spring to fall, its thick stems and durable flowers are impressively weather-tolerant, holding up well in wind and rain. Pair it with other vigorous annuals like Supertunia Vista® petunias and Sweet Caroline sweet potato vines.

    Maintenance Notes: 

    These plants are versatile working in both sun or shade, which makes them a wonderful unifying plant to use in both sun and shade beds.  Unlike older begonias, these are quite vigorous.  They can tolerate some drought conditions, but will look their best with more consistent moisture and regular feeding. They love the heat and do not need to be deadheaded to bloom all summer long.  What's not to love!
