    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This Logee's hybrid begonia is a small, compact plant with frilly leaf edges and unusual coloring. The dark olive-green leaves are a perfect contrast for the center rose-colored veins. The color scheme of rose and olive is highly visible in the frilly edges. A perfect potted plant for a small, partially sunlit space.
