🌸 Elegant Double White Roses on Bronze Foliage
This Double White Wax Begonia (Begonia semperflorens) is a stunning, elegant choice for adding a touch of sophistication to your garden.

Deer-resistant, low-maintenance, and easy to grow, this is a must-have for any garden.

Important Note:Wax Begonias are warm-season annuals. Do not plant until soil temperature has reached at least 60°F (15°C). They will not survive frost. In zones 10, they can be grown as perennials.
🧑🌾 Step-by-Step Planting Instructions
Start Indoors (Recommended for all zones):
- Fill seed trays with moist, fine-grained seed-starting mix (like a fine dust).
- Mix the tiny seeds with a small amount of fine sand to help distribute them evenly.
- Sprinkle the seed/sand mixture on the soil surface. Do not cover. Light aids germination.
- Mist lightly. Cover with a clear plastic dome or glass to retain moisture.
- Place in a warm area (70–75°F) with bright, indirect light.
- Remove dome once seedlings emerge (10–21 days). Keep soil moist but not soggy.
- After 8–10 weeks, harden off seedlings over 5–7 days before transplanting outdoors.
Direct Sow (Best for Zones 8–10):
- Wait until soil temperature reaches 60°F (15°C) and all frost danger has passed.
- Prepare a well-drained, shaded bed. Remove weeds and loosen soil.
- Mix seeds with fine sand. Sprinkle on the soil surface. Press in gently. Do not cover.
- Water carefully with a fine spray nozzle.
- Keep soil moist. After 4–6 weeks, thin seedlings to 8–10 inches apart.
Ongoing Care:
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering. Water at the base to prevent fungal diseases.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time. Feed with a liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the growing season for best blooms.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
- Overwintering: In zones 8–10, the plant may survive as a short-lived perennial. In colder zones, treat as an annual and replace each year.
