Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This cutey, collected and shared with us by plantsman Tony Avent, has very shiny and particularly paisley-shaped leaves on ever-so-slightly furry stems which are about 3' tall. Pearl-pink flowers are displayed over a long season. Like other begonias, primarily for moist soil and shade though this form tolerates a fair amount of sun if well-watered. We have enjoyed this in both container and garden. Resprouts from low USDA zone 8 winters if mulched.
