Double Delight Appleblossom Begonia

Double Delight Appleblossom is the trade name associated with Begonia ×tuberhybrida ‘Kerbespipple’. The Canadian cultivar record describes double flowers with white inner tepals and pink outer tepals, set against dark green leaves, and records this selection separately from the related ‘Kerbespiros’ cultivar. ## Growing conditions Outdoor begonias generally do best in a sheltered, partially shaded position. The [Royal Horticultural Society recommends](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/begonias/outdoors) regular watering during dry weather and frost-free storage for lifted tubers. These group-level practices suit tuberous begonias; local frost and winter conditions determine whether a plant is grown seasonally or its tuber is stored. ## Maintenance Use a well-drained growing medium and water the soil when conditions are dry, allowing excess water to drain. Protect the plant from frost. If retaining its tuber for another season, lift it before cold weather and store it in a cool, frost-free place until spring. [The CFIA cultivar record](https://active.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/pbrpov/cropreport/beg/app00013373e.shtml) identifies the exact selection and its flower and foliage traits.
