Angelique Begonia
Tuberous Begonia
Angelique Begonia is a fragrant double-flowered beauty that brings softness and grace to shaded gardens and containers. Its delicate blooms emerge in soft white blushed with pink and salmon tones, creating an almost cloud-like appearance from spring through fall. This non-GMO cultivar reaches just 10-12 inches tall, making it perfect for hanging baskets, borders, and shaded patios in hardiness zones 4-10. With a bloom timeline of 60-90 days and resistance to powdery mildew, it's a reliable choice for gardeners seeking fragrant flowers in partial shade.

Highlights
What sets Angelique apart is its genuinely fragrant double blooms, a rarity among begonias that makes it as much a sensory experience as a visual one. The soft white petals blushed with pink and salmon create an heirloom quality look that feels both delicate and full, perfect for containers where you can enjoy the scent up close. Its compact 10-12 inch height and reliable powdery mildew resistance make it a practical choice for shaded spots that often feel neglected in the garden.
Common Uses
Angelique Begonia is prized for ornamental display in containers, hanging baskets, shaded borders, and on patios where partial shade is the norm. Its fragrant double blooms and trailing habit make it particularly suited to elevated displays like window boxes or suspended planters where the scent and flower form can be fully appreciated.

Care Instructions
Start Indoors
Start Angelique Begonia seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last spring frost date. These tubers are typically pre-ordered for March shipment to align with spring planting. Keep soil warm and consistently moist but not soggy during germination.
Transplant Outdoors
Transplant seedlings outdoors after your last frost date once soil has warmed. Harden off plants gradually by exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days. Space transplants 8 inches apart in partial shade locations.
