Description
Begonia boliviensis ‘Bossa Nova Orange’ is a vibrant and striking hybrid begonia renowned for its brilliant orange, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom profusely from late spring through fall.

This cultivar has been recognized for its exceptional flowering traits and garden appeal within the landscape and container planting communities.
