Hardy Begonia

Plant Type:

SHADE PERENNIALS

Begonia grandis 'Sparkle and Shine' - Dark green leaves salted with small white spots are showy. the undersides of all leaves are a delicious and amazing chocolate-purple. White begonia flowers dangle from branched pedicels for many weeks in the middle-late season garden. This is a wowser and my favorite among the slowly growing roster of available cultivars. Morning sun, dappled to open shade in fertile, draining soil. Established potted perennial from division.
