About This Plant
Begonia 'Superba Red' is an upright, double-flowered variety with large, ruffled scarlet-red blooms that create a bold display from midsummer until frost. Growing 8 to 12 inches tall, it thrives in partial shade to full shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Its compact growth habit makes it wind-resistant, ensuring long-lasting floral impact in containers and garden beds. In colder climates, tubers should be lifted and stored indoors before winter to ensure a fresh display the following season.
