Mounding, Cascading in the Begoniaceae Family
Transform your garden with Double Delight Blush Begonia, featuring an abundance of scented double flowers in shades of soft pink during the summer. Its lush foliage and vibrant blooms create a stunning display that will delight all season long!
Begonia 'Double Delight Blush Rose' is a tuberous begonia grown for its abundant, fully double, lightly fragrant flowers in soft pink with a flush of yellow at the center. Its mounding, cascading habit and dark green foliage make it a standout in hanging baskets and containers, and it tolerates more sun than most tuberous begonias, from full sun to part shade.
Pros

Mounding, cascading habit suits hanging baskets and containers
More sun-tolerant than most tuberous begonias
Blooms continuously with no deadheading needed
Cons
Not cold-hardy; grown as an annual except in zones 9-11
Prefers consistently moist soil; not drought tolerant
Heavy double blooms can weigh down stems after rain
This plant is probably not winter-hardy outdoors where you live.
Highlights
Part of the patented Double Delight tuberous begonia series, valued for fully double, fragrant blooms and better sun tolerance than older tuberous begonias.

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!
Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants
Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.
Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

About Ordering From The Plant Club
To secure the best prices for club members and make sure we know the current plants available from each nursery, we take orders only a couple of times a month.
Shoot us an email at help@northshoreplantclub.com, and we'll be happy to talk about plants or let you know when it's time to buy them!
No Pricing or Availability Right Now
We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region.
It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.
Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
