From our nursery to your doorstep
Ordering live plants online should feel exciting, not stressful. We only ship healthy, well-rooted trees and plants, packed to arrive ready to thrive.

We always
- Ship plants with healthy, developed roots, so they establish faster at your home

How we measure your trees
When you order a 5–6 ft. tree, you get a tree that's 5–6 ft. tall above the soil, not "including the container." You'll know what to expect when it arrives, and what it will look like in the ground.

Red Double Begonia Tubers: Bold Color, Full Blooms, and Reliable Performance
If you're looking for a flowering plant that delivers bold color, lush blooms, and a long-lasting display, Red Double Begonias are a perfect choice. Their deep red, rose-like flowers stand out in any space, making them a great addition to shaded patios, garden borders, or even indoor planters. Unlike single-flowered begonias, this variety produces dense, fully double blooms—meaning each flower is packed with layers of soft, velvety petals.
These begonias thrive in partial shade, so they’re ideal for brightening up areas where other flowers might struggle. Whether planted in hanging baskets, containers, or garden beds, they offer continuous blooms from summer until the first frost. Plus, because they grow from tubers, you can lift and store them over winter for replanting year after year.
What Makes Red Double Begonias Special?
- Full, Rose-Like Blooms – Unlike traditional begonias, this variety boasts rich, double-petaled flowers that create a more dramatic and luxurious look.
- Thrives in Partial Shade – Perfect for spots that don’t get full sun, like covered patios or north-facing gardens.
- Long Blooming Season – Enjoy months of vibrant color from summer until the first frost.
- Grows from Tubers – Store them over winter, and they’ll return each year, making them a lasting investment.
- Great for Containers & Hanging Baskets – Their trailing growth and lush foliage make them an excellent choice for elevated planters.
Visual Appeal & Growth Habits
Red Double Begonias stand out with their lush, cascading growth. The flowers are a rich, true red—bold and eye-catching, with a velvety texture. The deep green, serrated leaves provide a striking contrast, making the blooms pop even more.
These begonias typically grow 12 to 18 inches tall and spread 12 to 15 inches wide, creating a full, mounded shape. When planted in hanging baskets, they can spill over the edges, adding a soft, flowing effect.
Ideal Uses for Red Double Begonias
- Hanging Baskets & Window Boxes – Their trailing habit and lush flowers make them perfect for adding height and drama to your outdoor space.
- Shady Garden Borders – They fill in gaps beautifully where other flowers might struggle.
- Indoor Flowering Plants – With bright, indirect light, they can bloom indoors, bringing rich color into your home.
- Gift Plants – Their luxurious, rose-like blooms make them a great gift for plant lovers.
Who Would Love This Plant?
If you enjoy low-maintenance, high-impact blooms, Red Double Begonias are for you. They’re especially great if you have a shaded outdoor area that needs color. Apartment dwellers can grow them on balconies, and gardeners who love reusing plants will appreciate their tuberous nature. If you love giving flowers, imagine gifting a blooming begonia instead of a short-lived bouquet—it lasts all season and beyond.
