Megawatt™ Pink Green Leaf Begonia

Megawatt™ Pink Green Leaf is an interspecific begonia with glossy green foliage and abundant pink flowers. The large flower stems rise above the leaves, giving the plant a full, upright presence in garden beds, borders, and large containers. ## Garden Use [Ball and PanAmerican Seed identify the exact Pink Green Leaf selection as PAS1085218](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=009207585008691). The breeder gives a mature height of 20–28 inches and spread of 16–24 inches, with flowers from spring through autumn. The green leaf form offers a fresh background for the pink bloom, and the large scale works well as a seasonal anchor among lower annuals. ## Growing Conditions The Megawatt series is listed for sun or shade and tolerates heat, humidity, and periods between waterings. Use moist, well-drained soil and avoid leaving roots saturated. [General Begonia guidance from NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/begonia/) favors partial shade and moisture-retentive but draining soil; the exact cultivar's breeder separately confirms sun and shade exposure. This hybrid is tender to frost and is generally grown as a warm-season annual in cold-winter areas. ## Maintenance Water when the soil begins to dry, with closer attention to containers in hot weather. Ball recommends light watering and monthly feeding for the series and describes it as low maintenance. The flower stems are self-cleaning in normal growth, so routine deadheading is unnecessary; remove damaged leaves as needed.
