Purchased pack of 3 Begonia bulbs to try. 2 arrived sprouted so potted immediately. The Third looked iffy but potted it anyway, 3 weeks later a sprout appeared hooray so no complaints. Purchased 15 Dwarf Dahlia Tubers 12 arrived intact but the other 3 were damaged. I have usually had good luck with these plants more or less but last year not one of the 15 bulbs sprouted, This year however the 12 good tubers (some arrived with sprouts emerging) have all sprouted and are getting close to be transplantable.
I was amazed at the quality of the bulbs received. One of them was the size of the palm of my hand. I have planted them but they have not come up yet. Given the quality, I have no doubt that they will. I would order from Holland Bulbs again!
They took a little while to sprout, but worth the wait. Put 3 each in 2 14” hanging baskets! Baskets are full and running over!
I planted some of these along with double white begonias, some Dusty Miller, caladium and lobelia in a planter that is in full shade on my front stoop. This is the first time I’ve grown begonias and I was super pleased with them! They flowered from early summer until frost in my 6a area. Blooms were big, beautiful and prolific.
This bulb is was small when planted, but emerged from the ground very large! I am excited to see what it will flower like this season!
