BEGONIA 'CEVECA'

Begonia elatior 'Ceveca' is very distinct from other elatior Begonias, sporting masses of coral pink semi-double flowers with white margins. It is suitable for year-round production and flowering.

It has a compact growth habit and is best suited to 9-13 cm pots. Best used as a patio table plant or as an indoor plant in a bright position. Protect from western sun.

As with all begonias it is important not to over-water them, let the soil surface dry between waterings. Begonias do well from regular feeding, they are sensitive to full strength fertiliser so dilute about a quarter strength and try to keep it off leaves.
