Plant Features

The Big™ Rose with Bronze Leaf Begonia is guaranteed to make an impression. Bearing intense, rosy-pink blossoms, the foliage is only lightly bronzed on waxy emerald green, making it the perfect backdrop to this fantastic color! Big begonias are bigger, better begonia plants! They offer huge blooms, up to 3-times larger than traditional wax begonias, tolerate a wide range of climates, perform in full sun to full shade, and require no deadheading. Big is perfect for both patio containers and garden beds. If planted in an area with good drainage, Big will thrive and become huge!

Growing Well

These are a lovely color. One of three arrived a bit shriveled, but GrowJoy was quick to make it right. GrowJoy seems to be a very good company. If you are ordering plants over the internet, you want the best shipping practices and healthy plants. GrowJoy delivers that.
