Begonia ‘Marginata Crispa Yellow’ is a striking summer-flowering tuber, producing vibrant sunshine-yellow blooms edged with fiery red, ruffled margins. Flowering from July onwards, this compact begonia delivers bold colour and texture, making it an excellent choice for containers, hanging baskets, patio pots, and sheltered borders.

With its neat, bushy habit and long flowering season, this variety performs particularly well in semi-shaded locations, though it will also tolerate sunnier spots with adequate moisture. Ideal for adding instant impact to outdoor displays and suitable for growing indoors or outdoors once frost risk has passed.
