Miss Malibu, a tropical taste in beautiful Begonia
With its massive dark pink blasts of colour, Miss Malibu brings flavour to the garden. This FleuroStar Winner displays a wealth of huge double flowers that simply cannot be overlooked in the garden centre. Thanks to its semi-trailing plant habit, this miss is perfectly suited for containers, hanging baskets and bedding schemes. Consumers will love this excellent garden performer which provides continuous colour throughout the summer until the first frost.
