Sun Dancer™ Red Tuberous Begonia

Sun Dancer™ Red is a mounded tuberous begonia with trailing stems and red double flowers. PanAmerican Seed lists the Sun Dancer™ Series F1 at 10–12 inches tall and 12–16 inches wide, with 3–6-inch flowers and flowering from spring through autumn. ## Flowers and form The exact selection is listed as PAS1384164 in [PanAmerican Seed’s Sun Dancer™ Red product information](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/009408606004463/tuberous-begonia-sun-dancer-red/). Sun Dancer plants produce large double blooms above a rounded center, while arching stems can cascade up to 16 inches over a container edge. ## Siting Give tuberous begonias partial or dappled shade and organically rich soil that stays moist while draining freely. They do not tolerate drought; avoid waterlogged soil and shelter foliage from strong wind. PanAmerican Seed lists shade to partial-sun exposure for Sun Dancer, and containers can help provide suitable drainage and shelter. ## Seasonal growing The exact product page lists flowering in spring, late spring, summer and autumn. In cold-winter climates, treat the plant as seasonal bedding or move its container to a frost-free place before winter. Tuberous begonias can also be lifted and stored dry for restarting in late winter. ## Maintenance Check pots regularly, remove faded flowers and damaged leaves, and allow air to move around foliage. Reduce watering as leaves yellow in autumn and protect dormant tubers from freezing.
