Protected Series: BIG
Zone: BIG® WHITE GREEN LEAF BEGONIA
Offering impressive scale and continuous color, Begonia Big® White Green Leaf is a standout interspecific hybrid designed for high-impact landscapes. It bridges the gap between traditional wax begonias and larger dragon wing types, featuring an upright, mounded habit that can easily reach 20 inches in height. Its lush, heart-shaped emerald green foliage provides a clean, crisp backdrop for the oversized, snowy white blooms that persist from late spring until the first frost. Because it is self-cleaning and sterile, Big® White Green Leaf Begonia remains tidy and prolific without the need for deadheading, making it a favorite for large-scale commercial installs and residential borders alike.
To maximize its performance, plant Big® White Green Leaf Begonia in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. While the Big® series is bred for exceptional heat and humidity tolerance, this specific, green-leafed variety performs best in partial sun to full shade, as the foliage can occasionally scorch in the intense afternoon sun of hotter climates. In the landscape, it serves as an ideal "filler" for large containers or as a mass planting under high-canopy trees where filtered light is abundant.
