With masses of extremely large flowers, 'BIG' begonias put on a stately show in containers, baskets and large landscape plantings which truly create that WOW! effect. Easy to produce, with great point-of-sale appeal and reliable outdoor performance, 'BIG' begonias offer everything you can ask for. Large 8 cm flowers are held upright above the leaves for maximum show. The glossy, deep green or bronze foliage adds vibrancy and contrast to the striking flowers. 'BIG's thrive in a wide range of conditions from full sun to shade. The introduction of this exceptional series of 3 colors is a 'BIG' event. It is staged precisely 100 years after Benary introduced the first tetraploid F1 begonia 'Primadonna'®. Just like 'Primadonna'® did 100 years ago, 'BIG' is revolutionizing the bedding and border range on offer.

A native to central Australia, Ptilotus 'Joey' is very heat and drought tolerant as well as being highly adaptable.
