Protected Series: BIG
Zone: BIG® RED GREEN LEAF BEGONIA
Begonia Big® Red with Green Leaf is a high-performance, heat-tolerant hybrid Begonia that has become a staple for professional landscaping due to its relentless blooming power and sturdy, architectural habit. Its large, glossy green leaves provide a lush, vibrant backdrop for a profusion of brilliant, true-red flowers that appear continuously from late spring until the first frost. Big® Red with Green Leaf Begonia is celebrated for its impressive vigor, quickly filling in space to create a dense, uniform carpet of color. Because it is largely self-cleaning -meaning it sheds its spent blooms naturally - it maintains a crisp, well-groomed appearance throughout the season without the need for manual deadheading.
Big® Red Green Leaf Begonia thrives in an ideal spot that offers partial shade to partial sun, though it is remarkably adaptable; in cooler northern climates, it can handle full sun if provided with consistent moisture. It requires rich, well-draining soil and regular, deep watering to support its rapid growth, particularly when planted in containers or high-temperature sites. While it is not drought-tolerant, its thick, waxy foliage makes it significantly more resilient to heat and humidity than traditional bedding begonias.

For the best performance, water when the soil surface feels dry to the touch and apply a balanced fertilizer once a month to support continuous blooming until the first frost.
