Yet another showy begonia to highlight from my collection. I grew these plants from seed starting early in 2018 and they have proven to be pretty hardy. I winter them over in the greenhouse in dry pots and they come back and bloom beautifully in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begonias are perfect plants for our back patio. There is a mix of sun and shade there and it seems to be just the right combination of the two for this family of plants. I like the dark foliage and the flowers show up nicely with brilliant pink male and female flowers over several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
