Add a whimsical touch to your garden with our Gryphon Begonia Seeds. These unique seeds will sprout into beautiful plants with silvery purple leaves that are sure to catch the eye.
Instructions:
These seeds grow slowly, so we recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
pelleted seeds are very fragile so be careful not to crush them when handling them. They're native to South America, and as such can be grown indoors, or in shadier patches outside during warmer months. While the seeds need >92% humidity to germinate, the plants prefer to not be too humid, or they will be ore susceptible to rot and mildew.
