The Superba large-flowered tuberous begonia (Begonia x tuberhybrida grandiflora) is a variety that offers you its huge, double flowers that come in vivid uniform colouring. The low growing plants that produce asymmetric leaves with serrated edges bloom all summer long until the first autumn cold. This spectacular begonia group delights gardeners with the number and appearance of the flowers that resemble open roses. The saturated, uniform colour of the petals that are arranged in shapely verticils can be seen from afar on the green foliage. The most of flowers appear in the upper part of the shoots at leaf axils. Thick yet easily breakable stems form a dense, tuft-like habit. Large-flowered begonias are plants indispensable at border foreground, edgings, or elegant lawns at all situations with lesser exposure to sunlight. Presented, wonderful flowering plant fits into pots, planters, hanging baskets, and boxes. A tuberous begonia can also be grown in smaller pots at home.
This begonia is a perennial, provided you protect its tubers from low temperatures. Tubers cleaned of shoots and soil, should be placed into an airy container filled with peat and stored in a room with a stable temperature around 10?C.
Tuberous large-flowered begonia should be grown in partial shade, as its fleshy shoots and leaves can easily get burned. The site should also be sheltered to prevent strong wind from breaking tufts carrying a heavy load of flowers. Superba begonia tubers can be planted from January to May. Make sure to provide them with a fertile, humous, permeable soil with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. Begonias in general prefer moderately moist soil that does not waterlog, as the excess water may cause plants to rot quickly. Fertilization is another factor that is key for good health and attractive look of the plant. It is best to use fertilizers dedicated for this species that optimally meet its nutritional needs. The optimal spacings between tubers is 30 centimetres. Do not plant deeper than 5 centimetres in the ground.
