The latest in the popular Fire® series of sun-tolerant, long-blooming Begonias, Bellfire® is a glorious tribute to hot red, pink, and purple color! Its blooms are a rich shade of coral-pink, while the foliage is plummy-purple with serrated purple edges. Flowering freely over two long seasons, it is a joy for containers or the garden bed, thanks to a unique versatile habit!

The 2-inch dark coral-pink blooms appear profusely all season, even at summer's end when the garden offers few other flowers. They begin in late spring, love summer, and continue well into autumn. Attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, they stand out brilliantly on crimson stems, filling the sunny to partly shaded garden with rich, warm tones. Who can ask for a longer or more beautiful season?

But the foliage is just as lovely as the flowers! The leaves are a plum tone, neatly serrated and boasting purple hues along the edges. They form a nice backdrop to the flowers, and add unexpected warm color to any setting. Very showy!

If grown in sun to light shade, Bellfire® reaches 40 inches high and 30 inches wide. In full sun, it will be taller and less wide; in more shade, it will be shorter and more sprawling. It looks stunning in containers or the garden, and the adaptable habit means you can dot the landscape with beautiful, hard-working Bellfire®!

The Fire® series was bred in New Zealand by plantsman Anthony Tesselaar, and has become an instant classic. And why not? They offer an entirely new look, coupled with masses of blooms, great tolerance of heat and drought, and a tidy trailing habit just ideal for containers. Consider Bonfire® as a companion -- the hot-pink blooms are absolutely brilliant!
