BIG Begonia – Star of the Show

Since BIG was introduced the series has captured more and more of the global market, from China and Russia to Europe and the USA. All around the globe it is the most popular begonia of its kind. Its multi-purpose use and extremely easy maintenance make it so popular. BIG begonias make a stately presentation in park settings, large landscape and container plantings which truly creates that WOW!
