A sample of some of Ballarats finest Begonias that we have in store at the moment.  Grown by local identity and Ballarat begonia legend Evan Hines our potted Begonias are an excellent choice for a gift. They each come with a detailed care guide compiled by Evan himself.  Evan has been responsible for growing some of the actual Begonias used in the annual Ballarat Begonia Festival displays in years gone by and has also bred some new varities himself.
