Begonia Mocca Deep Orange - Tropical Tango: Eye-Catching Tuberous Begonia with Bronzed Foliage

Ready to add some fiery flair to your indoor jungle or patio garden? Meet Tropical Tango, the Begonia Mocca Deep Orange. This vivacious beauty flaunts big, double blossoms in a deep, vibrant orange that sets hearts ablaze. With its bronzed foliage and bushy personality, it's not just a pretty face; this begonia brings the heat with a bit more resilience than your average tuberous counterpart. Hailing from the storied South American Andes, Tropical Tango is here to put on a floral fiesta from summer to mid-autumn. Expect lush flowers that seem to dance on succulent stems against dark, bronzed leaves – a tropical spectacle in your own space!

Benefits:

• Eye-Catching Blossoms: Stunning double orange flowers that are impossible to ignore.
• Heat Tolerance: Slightly more resilient to heat than other tuberous begonias.
• Seasonal Bloomer: Blooms from summer to mid-autumn, turning any spot into a vivid floral display.
• Easy to Grow: From winter-dormant tubers to thriving plants, these are beginner-friendly.

Care Instructions:

Tropical Tango is a sun-seeker, but loves a bit of shade too—aim for part sun to partial shade. Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained; think Goldilocks, not too dry and not too soggy. Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season, and watch your begonia flourish. When winter rolls around, let the foliage die back and lift the tubers for storage in a cool, dry place until next spring.

Décor Tips:

Add some zest to your garden with the dramatic color contrasts of Tropical Tango. Use decorative pots in vibrant colors that complement the orange blooms – think blues, greens, or even purples. On a patio, pair with other bright, bold flowers for a riot of color or position as a standalone potted star on your balcony.

Décor Vibes:

• Tropical Paradise: Complements other exotic flora for that lush, vibrant look.
• Modern Chic: Adds a bold splash of color to sleek, contemporary settings.
• Garden Party: Perfect for creating a festive and inviting outdoor space.
