New for 2008: Begonia Bellfire™ from Anthony Tesselaar Plants has a profusion of coral pink, pendant bell-shaped flowers, spring through autumn. Its deep plum foliage is rimmed by serrated edges highlighted by a purple margin. Unlike other tuberous begonias, Bellfire and its orange-flowered sister Begonia Bonfire thrive in full sun and summer heat. Gaining good size fast, they “grow like a plant on fire!” Plant in full sun to partial shade. As was Bonfire, Bellfire was hybridized from the seeds of Begonia boliviensis plants discovered in the cloud-shrouded mountain forests of South America by a team of plant hunters from New Zealand. Bellfire is a hardy perennial in warm weather zones, USDA 9 to11, but its rapid growth makes it an outstanding annual in all parts of the country.
