Tuberous Collection

Our Tuberous Collection consists of 207 varieties of upright Begonias and 38 of the cascade or weeping form, most effectively displayed in hanging baskets. In excess of 2300 tuberous begonia plants are grown each year with approximately one third of those on display in the conservatory at any one time. The remainder serve as replacements to keep the Begonia Display fresh, as Tuberous Begonias do not like the hot, humid environment of the Conservatory.
