Introducing the Beautiful Begonia Apricot
The Begonia Apricot is a stunning plant known for its eye-catching flowers and heart-shaped leaves. With its unique features and vibrant colors, this begonia variety is bound to add a pop of color to any garden or indoor space.
One of the standout features of the Begonia Apricot is its flower type, which can either be semi-double or single. This means that each flower can have multiple layers or just a single row of petals, adding visual interest and variety to the plant. The flower color ranges from yellow-medium yellow-012A to orange-medium yellow orange-022B, creating a beautiful gradient effect.
The plant's leaves are another striking feature. They have a pointed or acute leaf tip and a cordate, or heart-shaped, general shape. The leaf margin is erose, which means it has a jagged or toothed edge. The leaf size typically ranges from 7.5 to 10 cm, and the main color can be either brown-purple or dark green. The leaf color pattern is bicolored, adding further visual appeal to the plant.
In terms of size, the Begonia Apricot can reach a height of 20-30 cm, making it a compact and suitable choice for both indoor and outdoor spaces. The plant's diameter typically ranges from 20 to 25 cm, allowing it to fit in various pots or garden beds. Its pendulous inflorescence arrangement adds an elegant touch to the overall appearance.
The Begonia Apricot is known for its incredible bloom time, with the potential to flower from April to October. This extended flowering period ensures that the plant will continuously provide a burst of color and beauty for many months. The flowers are about 5-5.5 cm in diameter and have a multi-colored distribution, often with traces of complementary colors.
It's important to note that the Begonia Apricot is not winter hardy in most areas. It thrives in USDA zones 9, 10, and 11, which have milder winter temperatures. If you live in a colder climate, it's recommended to bring the plant indoors or provide it with extra protection during the frosty months.
Overall, the Begonia Apricot is a delightful addition to any garden or home. Its striking flowers, heart-shaped leaves, and vibrant colors make it a showstopper.
