All three colors of the 'Jolly'® series, 'Apricot', 'Red' and 'Bronze Leaf Scarlet', produce fully double medium-size flowers that are carried above small leaves. The description of the 'Jolly'® series is brief and simple: long-lived, beautiful, and easy.
'Jolly'® is easy to grow and sell. With just six to eight weeks crop time from pot to sale, it can be grown at 17 °C/63 °F under long days, requiring supplemental light only when natural day length is less than 12 hours. This makes 'Jolly'® a cost-effective crop for the major selling dates of the B&B season. 'Jolly'® produces impressive high-grade 10-12 cm/4-5" pots that sell at good prices.
Marketing 'Jolly'®at the retail level is easy too. The multi-branched plants are great bloomers, very long-lived and ideal for a wide range of uses in planters, window boxes, bedding, and even baskets. Its self-cleaning capacity makes 'Jolly'® a low-maintenance item with a very long shelf life at the retail.
'Jolly'® is also easy to start off: rooted cuttings are now available to finished plant growers from their favorite young plant grower. Find out all about 'Jolly'® begonias on the web at www.Jolly-Begonia.com.
