Plant Features

Sun Cities Santa Cruz is a stunning trailing begonia characterized by its plethora of large, fiery red-orange blossoms. Set against large, arrow-shaped green leaves with a neatly serrated edge, these vivacious blooms draw immediate attention. Their elongated shape, reminiscent of fuchsias, paired with their vibrant color, ensures that the 'Santa Cruz' Begonia becomes an instant focal point in any setting. Particularly suited for vertical gardens, its elegant cascades offer a burst of color, creating an eye-catching display. This begonia stands out not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its resilience. It boasts a notable drought and heat tolerance, making it an exemplary choice for hanging baskets and patio planters. Thriving in sun to partial shade, the 'Santa Cruz' Begonia begins its blooming spree in early summer and continues unabated until the autumn chill sets in, ensuring a consistent display of its brilliant fiery red blooms throughout the warmer months.

Comment: 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 scramble... More details

Comment: 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.
