About
Begonia × tuberhybrida, also known as the Tuberhybrida Group or the Tuberosa Group, are a group of tuberous Begonia cultivars named for the tubers that lie dormant after the plants dies back in the fall or winter, from which the plant regrows in the spring or fall. This type of begonia is usually grown for the flowers they produce, sometimes regarded as some of the most spectacular of the genus. They can be as small as half an inch to as big around as dinner plates. They come in all shades but blue, and some have different colored edges, or are scented. They vary in growth habit, some kinds trailing with pendulant flowers, others with sturdy, upright stalks.

Gardening tip
When growing these begonias, be prepared for the plant to die back in the fall or winter. Do not discard them, as they form underground tubers that lie dormant during this cold period and will regrow into beautiful new plants in the spring or fall.
