    A more colorful form of the “Strawberry Begonia”. Forms a dense low mat of rounded dark reddish-green leaves with veining. Pale pink flowers float “like little moths” 2' above the leaves. Sends out many runners with small plants at their ends. Can also be a houseplant or used in hanging baskets.
