Begonia benariensis (Begonia)
Color Name: Whopper® Rose
Tough, gorgeous plants that work in both sun and shade conditions.
The Whopper series is simply unique - it's the quickest-blooming, largest, most vigorous Begonia the world has ever seen. And this splendid color combines wonderfully with the large, succulent-looking green foliage.
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. Whopper Rose reaches about 30 inches high and blooms all summer in sun or shade. What a change from fussy older varieties!
This sensational begonia is set to be a really popular this summer with its excellent outdoor performance. This attractive plant will bloom non-stop throughout the summer effortlessly filling huge pots, containers and spaces in borders with their stunning rose flowers and luxurious deep green foliage. Happy in sun or shade, this easy to please variety will provide structural and stately presentation wherever you choose to plant one.
Growing Tips: Begonias are delightfully easy to care for! They are durable and will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. Begonias are self-cleaning, meaning the old blooms make way for new ones. They continue to bloom all summer without you having to pinch off old flowers. Begonias like to be on the dryer side so be careful not to overwater. They are light feeders so be careful not to over fertilize. Begonias spread cheer and happiness wherever they are planted because they're so easy to care for!
