The Begonia Cocktail Mix is a type of wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens-cultorum) characterized by dark bronze foliage and flowers in assorted colors such as white, pink, and red. This group is commonly referred to as the 'Cocktail' series.
Growing Conditions:
  • Sunlight: Prefer full sun to part shade. Dark-leaved varieties are more tolerant of full sun.
  • Soil: Thrive in well-drained, acidic soil (pH between 5.5 and 6.2).
  • Watering: Need consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Avoid overwatering.
  • Fertilizing: Benefit from frequent fertilization with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Temperature: Prefer warm and humid conditions. They are not cold-resistant and will not tolerate frost
Characteristics:
  • Habit: Compact, bushy, and mounding.
  • Height & Spread: Typically grow to about 12 inches tall and wide.
  • Flowering: Bloom all summer long. They are heavy and ever-blooming.
  • Hardiness: Generally grown as annuals in most regions, but are tender perennials in USDA Zones 10-11.
  • Other: These plants are easy to cultivate from seed and require minimal care.
  • Ornamental: Widely favored for use in flower beds, containers, and as border plants.
  • Edible (with caution): Certain begonia blossoms are edible and serve as decorative garnishes for food and beverages. Gourmet Sweet Botanicals supplies edible begonia flower assortments tailored for culinary purposes. It is crucial to note that only edible flowers from specialist suppliers grown for consumption should be used in food or drinks.
