I received tuberous begonias that were actual plants. Every other place offers the plant, but you get only the tuber. I was surprised and very pleased with this purchase. I shall return. Thank you

I had the original scarlet/orange and the white one.I let them go dry and kept them in their pots in my attached garage in zone 6. Year after year-(4 or 5) they survived and increased. I should have changed their soil but I didn't, all tho I fertilized them several times each summer. When it warmed up in spring, I brought them out and started watering them a little , and after a week or two, the shoots started coming up. No troubles, except for a huge toad.. When I watered one, the toad scrambled to the surface and gave me a start!

it has settled in happily in a new and larger pot on my back deck and i think it will bloom soon.

I fell in love with Santa Cruz begonias, but could not find them locally. I found the Santa Cruz at GrowJoy at a reasonable price. Ordering online was easy. The biggest surprise was how big and healthy the plant was when delivered. I immediately re potted the plant and watered it. It never wilted and continues to thrive and bloom. My only regret is that I did not know about GrowJoy sooner! Highly recommend.

I live in Iowa and cut mine back and let it dry out in the basement over the winter. Come spring, we bring it up and put it out and start to water it and it grows bigger every year. It gets huge.
From anonymous | July 13, 2017
The plants were large and packed very well! I am very pleased with everything and can't wait for it to begin blooming!
From Robert | May 27, 2016
These starts were so big that I think they will outgrow the container I put them in. Wonderful!
From Tinga | May 24, 2016
Love this Santa Cruz Sunset Begonia, grew well in partial sun.
From sherry | January 31, 2016
Great plant. Holds up well in a windy dry climate. Does very well in full sunlight at 3500 ft elevation. Bounces back quickly after mild hail or wind damage. Can be grown from seed but need to start in November to be ready for spring. Tolerates mild frost damage in spring. Never stops blooming until frosted down. Harvest tuber and grow a bigger plant next year.
