Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Begonia ‘Kit Kat’ is a clump forming rhizomatous Begonia displaying asymmetrical, rounded, dusty green leaves with radiant chartreuse-green spots. Displays sporadic, upright clusters of light pink flowers.

By: Little Prince of Oregon

Spotted in chartreuse, the small greenish bronze leaves engulf the dwarf mounding form of this compact rhizomatous. Winter brings a burst of flowers as the spikes stand tall and mature into plumes of delicate, white-blushed pink blooms. A great subject for limited space on the windowsill or in a light garden, as it grows no more than 6-8" tall. The compact form and reliable vigor make this an all around winner for the home.
