Begonia Mixes
Durable, dependable color of 'Super Olympia'—the importance is obvious here
Add another billable service to the boxwoods and lawns in your landscape business menu by offering simple color gardens to clients—and start with begonias. These plants are purpose-built to solve many of the problems found in the commercial world because they’re tough, consistent, and dependable. Begonias bloom through the season, stay neat and tidy, and tolerate rough handling, plus they aren’t fussy about soil, water, or light.
Begonia mixes work even in small amounts
Building a color garden requires the same type of work as any other landscape application and adds another accommodation to make a valued customer happy. Our begonia mixes make sense, especially if you’re new to the color garden concept. These four SKUs replace 12 SKUs on your truck: tall, short, green and bronze. Each one includes a healthy mix of red, pink, and white flowers:
Large Bronze Leaf—Cocktail Mix
Small Bronze Leaf—Bada Bing Mix
Large Green Leaf—Super Olympia Mix
Small Green Leaf—Bada Boom Mix
Begonia Cocktail Mix
Since we pre-mix the colors here at Diefenbacher we save you the time-burn of mixing them in the field and toting the extra trays around. Mixes don’t cost extra, so your bill of materials remains unchanged while the speed of your job changes considerably—for the better.
Notice the mix of both foliage and flower colors in the planter
It’s a question of logistics: the fewer the steps, the faster the job. Fewer SKUs mean quicker decisions so you can deploy more jobs: show up, plant the mixes, move on to the next client—and the gardens will always look prime. In the trenches of landscaping, this is how profit is built: a dependable product delivered dependably. If you can finish one or two more jobs every day it really does make a difference.
Begonia Super Olympia Mix
Bear in mind that each begonia garden contributes to the community as a whole. These plants are known for their generous nectar production that attracts butterflies, bees and hummingbirds, and since the blooms last all season they can feed a substantial population for a long time. Pollinators are in the spotlight right now so take advantage of that fact and promote the PR side of your color garden service.
An 8-inch begonia is a plant of significant size
Super Olympia and Cocktail Mix are available in the 6-inch and 8-inch pot sizes and the 1801 landscape tray. Bada Bing and Bada Boom Mix come in the 1203 flat.
