What a plant!!! This hardy Begonia is a 'must' for all lovers of the unusual. Large lobed deep green leaves are borne, complimented by small sprays of pale pink flowers during the summer. Prefers a semi shaded moist yet well drained soil site. Reasonably hardy but a mulch in the winter might be a good idea.
