Begonia 'Bossa Nova Pure White', Trailing Begonia 'Bossa Nova Pure White', Bossa Nova Series
A most vigorous trailing Begonia, Begonia boliviensis 'Bossa Nova Pure White' produces masses of slender white blossoms held on soft coral-pink stems amongst large, arrow-shaped, neatly serrated, green leaves. It is perfect for vertical gardens with its elegant cascades of luminous, elongated flowers resembling fuchsias. Heat and drought-tolerant, introduce this Begonia to your containers and hanging baskets, and you will be rewarded with brilliant notes of color throughout summer and fall!
- Enjoying continuous blooms from late spring to fall, this Begonia typically grows up to 12-16 in. tall (30-40 cm) and 12-18 in. wide (30-45 cm).
- Prefers locations that have partial shade and light, rich, moist, and well-drained soils. Full shade is tolerated, but expect fewer (but larger) flowers and lower growth. Provide good air circulation and protect your Begonias from strong winds!
