- Full double white Begonias!
Light up your shade garden or fill in the understory of your perennial garden with these fully double white Begonias, or enjoy the dark green/bronze foliage contrast with the pure white blooms in a container, massed out in your landscape or as an easy care houseplant. Wherever you want to plant them, the Double Up White Begonia says “Bring it on”.
Double Up White Begonias are a great companion plant to acid loving shade plants like azaleas and rhododendrons with a pH preference of 5.5 - 6.2, are native to Zones 10a through 11b, but grow as annuals in Zones 3-9. The vigorous globe-shaped plants will continue to bloom all summer with little to no intervention from you. They make an attractive mass planting, or border in your shaded areas.
Double Up White Begonia Care
A good quality garden soil amended with compost that drains well will result in unending blooms. Follow standard guidelines for pest eradication if aphids are noted on your plants, you can find household grade pesticides in any hardware store. Light drought conditions do not distress this plant. They love the heat of summer and are more vigorous than begonias of the past.
No pruning is needed, they deadhead themselves and keep your garden looking bright and clean. Pair with impatiens in full shade, or fill in your full sun perennial garden with these improved hybrids, they are that versatile and easy to care for.
Double Up White Begonia Spacing
Standing tall at 8-18 inches and 6-14 inches wide, this annual hybrid of the less vigorous begonia will brighten your spring and summer garden until frost. Allow 6-12 inches of space between plantings and the almost succulent-like sculpted leaves will fill in nicely throughout the summer.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
