Surefire^® Red Begonia benariensis

I received my two plants this spring season '23 and already despite the cold spring this year, the plants took hold and are growing well..since the weather has warmed up some, the plants continue to perform..No deadheading is necessary . The seem to almost take care of themselves. I was amazed at the shine on these leaves..the glossiness is reflecting sunlight brilliantly..didnt quite expect that but Ill take it..Im predicting that they will continue to do well. I recommend this cultivar very highly.

These begonia's performed wonderfully in pots. They grew at least 2 feet tall and nearly swallowed up the Cordiline spikes I had as the thriller. They could be the thriller in pots by themselves. They have very sturdy stems and just as the description states, they did not need dead heading. The only cons I see with this plant is that it drops some of the flower petals with a strong wind creating small messes and the stems tend to grow wildly in different directions.
