Sun Cities Santa Barbara Begonia Plant

The Begonia Boliviensis Santa Barbara is a captivating, trailing beauty that boasts large, conical pure-white blooms accented by a vivid yellow center. Each bell-shaped flower emerges from salmon-pink buds on soft pink stems, presenting a delightful contrast against its slender, dark green arrow-shaped leaves. The leaves themselves are elongated, sharply pointed, and come with a distinct serrated edge. Starting in early summer and persisting until the initial frosts of autumn, its continuous cascade of flowers makes it a showstopper. Given its trailing nature, the 'Santa Barbara' is particularly suited for container gardening, making it a prime choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, and patio pots where its blooms can elegantly spill over the edges. Beyond its visual appeal, this variety is also heat- and drought-tolerant, lending a tropical ambiance to any garden setting.
