PPAF. When you need a respite from screaming hot summer color schemes, 'Elegance' offers a waterfall of blushed pink white blossoms complemented with dark green foliage; outstanding for baskets.

Good marketing here...naming the series 'Million Kisses' draws attention to these Begonia boliviensis selections. 'Elegance' has drooping blossoms of white petals tinged with pink. Plants grow 10-14" tall with cascading stems, and require well drained soil, lots of heat, and average humidity.
