Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Years of breeding went into developing this luscious pink, crossing today's genetics with old fragrant begonias. Pricey? Yes. And perhaps worth it at the end of a long day when you reward yourself with a half hour on the veranda, savoring a good book, a cold beverage and this fragrance. New, novel and extraordinary enough to be patented, these fragrant treasures deliver both endless 4-5" blooms and enticing scent. Ideal for hanging baskets and upright enough for containers. Close your eyes, inhale and dream.
