Description
The "Eureka Green" cultivar of Begonia x semperflorens, also known as Wax Begonia, showcases an array of individual plants, each blossoming in distinct shades of pink, red, or white. Sold as an 8-pack, each compact perennial is set off by shiny, rounded green leaves, presenting a year-round vibrant display. Whether it's in the ground, in pots, or cascading from hanging baskets, this cultivar adds an enduring touch of colour.
For best results when planting "Eureka Green" in the ground, it's advisable to enhance sandy soils with organic matter. While it relishes partial shade, it's essential to note that it won't tolerate full sun. Watering needs are consistent throughout the year, but it's especially vital during Birak (Summer). Boost its vibrancy with a dose of balanced, slow-release fertiliser in Kambarang (Spring) and consider a light pruning session during Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring) to maintain its neat appearance and promote fresh growth.
