Begonia BIG™ Rose with Bronze 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 rich rose, a bit different from the typical Begonia primary shades!) combines wonderfully with the large, elegant bronze 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 bronze 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! Space plants 12 to 15 inches apart for dense coverage. Be sure to try Red with Bronze Leaf and Red with Green Leaf as well.
