Bossa Nova™ Night Fever Rosso Begonia

Bossa Nova™ Night Fever Rosso is a Begonia boliviensis with red, bell-shaped flowers and dark foliage. Syngenta describes its habit as well-branched, mounding, and trailing, making it a good fit for hanging baskets and containers where the stems can cascade. ## Flowers and placement The breeder lists flowering from mid-spring through summer and gives a garden range of 12–16 inches tall by 16–20 inches wide. Its dark leaves contrast with the red flowers, while the trailing growth softens the edge of a pot or basket. Syngenta lists the Bossa Nova series across sun and shade exposures and describes the Night Fever line as suitable for warm conditions. ## Growing Plant in a container with drainage and a free-draining potting mix that does not dry out completely. Baskets may need more frequent moisture checks in hot or breezy weather. The catalog’s metric dimensions convert to roughly 14 inches tall and 18 inches wide, which sit within the breeder’s labeled ranges; actual size depends on growing conditions and the time allowed to mature. Syngenta lists hardiness zones 9a–11a and classifies this crop as an annual. See the [Syngenta Night Fever Rosso profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70103437), its [European product listing](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/emea/product/flower/70103437), and the [RHS species profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/164608/begonia-boliviensis-t/details). ## Maintenance Trim broken or untidy stems to keep the plant in shape and remove damaged leaves. The RHS describes Begonia boliviensis as a tuberous perennial; where winters freeze, grow this cultivar as a seasonal annual or protect the tuber from frost.
