Begonia BIG™ Red with Green Leaf Hybrid
Perfect for mass landscaping, bedding, edging, or containers!
The quickest-blooming, largest, most vigorous Begonia the world has ever seen!
It's a whole new day for Begonia! Part Angel Wing, part Fibrous Begonia, the new BIG™ series is simply unique -- it's the quickest-blooming, largest, most vigorous Begonia the world has ever seen. And this splendid color (a fire-engine bright crimson-red) combines wonderfully with the large, succulent-looking bright green foliage. If it's time to update the Begonia basket, let BIG™ lead the way!
These color-drenched oval 2 1/2-inch flowers appear in great clusters, while the green foliage is glossy and oversized, with nicely pointed tips. BIG™ Rose reaches about 20 inches high and blooms all summer in sun or shade. What a change from fussy older varieties!
Perfect for mass landscaping, bedding, edging, or containers, the BIG™ Begonias are self-cleaning throughout their long, lovely summer season. Released exactly 100 years after the first-ever Begonia hybrid, BIG™ is a giant leap forward! Take a look at the other splendid BIG™ varieties, both with dark bronze foliage: unusual Rose with Bronze Leaf and ultra-bright Red with Bronze Leaf. Space plants 12 to 15 inches apart apart for dense coverage.
