It is particularly suitable for:

Large hanging baskets • Patio pots • Large containers • Balcony displays • Mixed containers • Raised planters

Its combination of impressive size, abundant flowering and strong foliage makes Wookie especially valuable when you want a substantial Begonia with real visual impact.

A Great Heat Lover

One of the greatest advantages of Wookie White F1 is its excellent summer performance.

The strong, slightly hairy leaves contribute to the plant's ability to perform beautifully during warm summer conditions, making Wookie an excellent choice for locations where more delicate Begonias may struggle during periods of heat.

Plants perform well from sun to partial shade, providing plenty of flexibility when choosing a location.

Continuous White Flowers Until Frost

Wookie White is a free-flowering multiflora Begonia, producing large numbers of elegant white flowers throughout the season.

Once established, the plant continues producing new flowers throughout summer and can remain in bloom until the first frost.

The combination of abundant white flowers, fresh green foliage and a large rounded habit creates a fresh, sophisticated display throughout the entire summer season.

The clean white colour also makes Wookie White particularly versatile. It looks beautiful as a single-variety statement planting and combines effortlessly with pastel shades, pinks, burgundy, purple, ornamental foliage and grasses.

Growing from Seed

Wookie White F1 is supplied as pelleted seed, making the naturally tiny Begonia seeds much easier to handle and sow.

For best results, start seeds indoors well before the outdoor growing season.

• Sow 1–2 pellets per plug or cell
• Place the pellets on the surface of moist growing medium
• Do not cover the seeds
• Light is required for germination
• Germination temperature: 22–24°C
• First seedlings: approximately 6–8 days
• Keep the growing medium consistently moist during germination

During the first stage, warm and humid conditions encourage reliable germination. Once seedlings are established, gradually reduce the temperature to approximately 20–21°C and provide good light and ventilation.

Light & Flowering

Wookie White is an obligate long-day plant.

A day length of more than approximately 13 hours initiates flowering. Higher light levels and warmer temperatures can also encourage earlier flowering.

When starting seeds during the darker winter months, provide the young plants with as much good-quality light as possible.

Once established, Wookie performs beautifully outdoors in sun to partial shade.

Watering & Growing Conditions

Wookie prefers a fertile, high-quality and well-drained growing medium that retains enough moisture while allowing excess water to drain freely.

Young seedlings require consistent moisture, particularly during germination. As the plants develop, begin allowing the surface of the growing medium to dry slightly between waterings.

Established plants prefer a good wet-to-dry watering cycle rather than remaining constantly saturated.

Avoid allowing mature plants to become extremely dry, especially during hot summer weather.

Move plants outdoors only after the danger of frost has passed.

Perfect for Large Containers

With a mature spread of approximately 55 cm, Wookie White is considerably larger than many compact Begonias and is particularly suited to substantial summer containers.

For a particularly full and impressive hanging basket, approximately 3 plants per basket can be used.

Its large rounded habit also makes Wookie White beautiful as a single statement plant in a generous patio container.

Long-Lasting Summer Performance

Wookie White combines several qualities that are particularly valuable in summer container planting:

Heat tolerance • Strong foliage • Abundant white flowers • Large rounded habit • Continuous flowering • Excellent container performance

The combination of fresh green foliage and crisp white flowers creates an elegant, timeless appearance that works equally well in modern, romantic and naturalistic planting schemes.

Wookie is designed to create an impressive whole-plant display that remains attractive throughout the season.
