Non-tuberous Collection

Our non-tuberous collection consists of 290 cultivars and species, and a total of 700 pots. Unlike the cool-climate tuberous Begonias, the majority of our non-tuberous begonia species originate from warmer or tropical climates, and in our climate are best grown in a heated glasshouse. The collection consists of a variety of plant forms including cane, rhizomatous, rex, shrub-like, thick-stemmed, semperflorens, and trailing scandent, showcasing just some of the beautiful, diverse foliage colour and shapes possible in Begonias
