BEGONIA SEMPERFLORENS, BEGONIA SEMPERFLORENS-HYBRIDS, WAX BEGONIA 'Sprint Mix' Growers have learned to depend on the 'Sprint' series to provide early flowering and excellent pack fill, without sacrificing garden performance. In response to changes in the market, we are continually improving the 'Sprint' series to offer unbeatable performance from germination through all of the stages of production to the end consumer. Like the other colors in the 'Sprint' series, 'Sprint Pink' Improved and 'Sprint White' Improved offer the same large flowers over glossy, green leaves. A strong branching habit and faster pack fill offer growers more bang for their buck. Plug producers rely on the 'Sprint' series to set the highest vigor and germination standards in the industry. Northern growers have also come to appreciate the early blooming of the 'Sprint' series especially for spring production. Virtually untouched by the rigorous heat of the South, the 'Sprint' series stays compact (15-20 cm), providing excellent packs and pots even in the Deep South. Uniformity in the pack and dependability in the garden are the reasons why growers and gardeners alike are racing to get 'Sprint' Begonias. Offered in eight colors, the 'Sprint' series is a must have for the landscape or mixed containers. In the greenhouse and in the garden 'Sprint' Begonias are a perfect match to the dark chocolate leaved 'Nightlife' series. These two well matched series make growing and timing easy for production and their superior flower size add increased appeal in the landscape. Suited for any location from hot sun to dense shade, both the 'Nightlife' and 'Sprint' series offer consistency, vigor and beauty. *Benary Specialties*
