Begonia Megawatt White Green Leaf

Common Name:
Begonia 'Megawatt White Green Leaf'

Description:
Begonia 'Megawatt White Green Leaf' is a high-impact, fast-growing hybrid begonia prized for its vigorous upright growth and luminous white blooms that shine against glossy green foliage. This powerhouse performer flowers continuously from late spring through to the first frosts, making it ideal for Melbourne’s growing season. Unlike traditional begonias, 'Megawatt' varieties grow taller and fuller, delivering a bold display in large containers, garden beds, and public landscapes. The white flowers are self-cleaning, requiring minimal maintenance, and the plant thrives in both full sun and part shade. Well-suited to a wide range of garden conditions, this begonia prefers rich, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering and feeding during the growing season. With excellent heat tolerance and mildew resistance, it is perfect for gardeners seeking reliable, showy performance with minimal fuss.
