Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A large, majestic cultivar that sports deep green to bronze foliage highlighted by yellow veins and a frilly edge that's accented by coarse hairs. Although an older cultivar, it's the spitting image of Begonia 'Muddy Waters' yet it's much more vigorous and easier to grow. Sprays of pink flowers on tall stems arrive in the dead of winter adding color to the indoor garden when it's needed the most.
