Begonia 'Crispa Yellow-Red' is a bulbous perennial that belongs to the Begonia family.
Appearance
The adult plant (shrub) is 20-25 cm tall and 10-15 cm wide. It has relatively large, pinnately dissected green leaves on branching, thin stems. The flowers are large (10-12 cm in diameter), folded, petals with wavy red edges, the whole flower is yellow. This flower colour is very rare and very original, so this begonia variety is one of the most sought after.
This plant prefers to grow in fertile, drained and moist soil. It is predominantly sun-loving but can also tolerate semi-shade. Flowering starts in June and lasts until September. Under favourable conditions, flowering can last all autumn until frost. Begonia tubers of this variety should be dug up for the winter and stored in a ventilated dark place. They are the most decorative and cold-resistant.
