Double-flowering — Tuberous Begonia

Begonia x tuberhybrida Voss

A morphological trait of the tuberous begonia flower, representing the transformation of reproductive organs into petal-like structures.

In the reference 38 varieties crop Tuberous begonia, where this is mentioned in the description.

In tuberous begonia, double-flowering is classified as a qualitative characteristic and manifests as petal fullness of the flower; this trait is often characteristic only of male flowers, while female flowers remain simple. In breeding, varieties are divided into single, semi-double, and double, using visual categories such as rose-formed or camellia-formed to describe the shape.

The expression of double-flowering is a varietal trait, although its intensity depends heavily on cultivation conditions. Stress factors, such as high temperatures, nutrient deficiency, or irregular watering, as well as a reduction in daylight hours in the second half of the season, can lead to a decrease in double-flowering and the appearance of simplified flowers. Maintaining stable agrotechnical conditions is essential for preserving the decorative qualities of the flower throughout the entire blooming period.
