Begonia AmeriHybrid® Picotee White Pink

Begonia AmeriHybrid® Picotee White Pink is a breathtaking addition to any garden or patio, showcasing its large, ruffled white blooms delicately edged with soft pink. This elegant combination creates a sophisticated and eye-catching display, perfect for brightening shaded areas, containers, or hanging baskets. The flowers are renowned for their showy, multi-layered petals that appear almost rose-like, offering a luxurious touch to any planting scheme.

This variety grows to a height of approximately 30-40 cm, forming a lush, compact habit that adds volume and depth to garden arrangements. Unlike many other begonias, the AmeriHybrid® Picotee series is specially bred for durability, boasting thick petals that are more resistant to wind and rain, ensuring a long-lasting performance throughout the season. Blooming from late spring until the first frost, 'Picotee White Pink' offers continuous colour and elegance without the need for constant care.

An interesting fact about the AmeriHybrid® series is that it was specifically developed for enhanced hybrid vigour, which means these begonias tend to be more robust and longer-lasting than traditional varieties. The unique breeding also allows them to withstand variable weather, maintaining their beauty even after summer showers. We ship these high-quality bulbs in spring for optimal planting and stunning summer displays.
