Begonia Gypsy White

Common Name:
Begonia 'Gypsy White'

Description:
Begonia 'Gypsy White' is a compact, mounding bedding begonia that delivers a clean and elegant display of crisp white flowers against deep green, waxy foliage. This variety is beloved for its continuous blooming throughout the warmer months, providing reliable colour from late spring through to autumn in Melbourne’s climate. Its neat, uniform growth makes it ideal for mass planting, edging borders, containers, and mixed displays. 'Gypsy White' performs best in full sun to part shade and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with regular moisture. It’s low maintenance, self-cleaning, and offers excellent heat and humidity tolerance, making it perfect for gardeners seeking fuss-free, long-lasting impact. The pure white blooms offer a bright contrast to more colourful companions or can be used to create serene, monochrome garden schemes.
