Begonia Display

The 2026 Begonia Display has been designed and installed by the Ballarat Botanical Gardens Nursery team.

The display features begonias from both the tuberous and non-tuberous collections, with around 600 upright and cascading begonias creatively arranged to produce encompassing walls of colour.

2026 Display

A ‘Symphony of Begonias’ is designed to feel rich, layered, and co-ordinated, much like a well-composed piece of music.

The 2026 display showcases upright and cascade begonias alongside a selection of non-tuberous begonias to highlight the diversity of the collections. A central pyramid arranged in single-colour rows creates height and strong visual impact, supported by raised planter boxes filled with block-colour upright begonias. Walls of Dichondra ‘Silver Falls’ add a soft, silvery contrast to enhance the vibrant begonia colours, and butterfly props filled with bright bedding begonias form creative focal points that tie the display together.

The begonia display is on show in the Robert Clark Conservatory at the Ballarat Botanical Gardens during the 2026 Ballarat Begonia Festival and will remain open for a minimum of four weeks.
