Why Begonias Are at the Heart of Three Little Biggs Nursery

At Three Little Biggs Nursery here in Melbourne, Florida, begonias aren’t just another plant on the shelf — they’re a true passion. Their incredible variety, bold foliage, and ability to thrive in Florida’s coastal climate make them one of the most rewarding plants for local growers and collectors.

A World of Color and Texture

Begonias come in thousands of forms, from shimmering rhizomatous varieties to tall, patterned cane types. Some glow with metallic tones, others show soft pastels or dramatic dark foliage. That diversity is exactly why so many Melbourne plant lovers choose them — there’s a begonia for every style, space, and experience level.

Perfect for Florida Growing Conditions

Our warm, humid environment gives begonias exactly what they need. Many varieties thrive in bright, indirect light and appreciate the natural humidity our area provides. Because they grow so well here, we’re able to offer begonias that are healthier, more stable, and more vibrant than plants shipped from out‑of‑state growers.

Locally Grown With Care

Every begonia we sell is grown right here in Melbourne, Florida. We focus on strong roots, stable growth, and healthy foliage from the very beginning. Customers appreciate knowing their plants were raised locally — not mass‑produced or rushed through shipping.

Our Specialty, Our Passion

What started as admiration turned into expertise. Over time, we learned how to grow, maintain, and source begonias that aren’t easy to find elsewhere. Today, they’re a core part of our nursery and a collection we’re proud to share with our community.
