Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This medium sized Begonia came to us via SFA Gardens and was named in honor of Texas philanthropist Ima Hogg. Sporting a near continuous display of pink flowers and medium apple green foliage this is a reliably flowering and easy to grow cane-type Begonia. This is the same Begonia that Ms. Ima Hogg maintained on her porch at Bayou Bend. Provide a well-drained soil and shaded conditions on a porch or patio.
