Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tender. This fancy leaf begonia can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Deeply embossed, medium-sized leaves display shiny deep-red centers surrounded by red and white spotted, deep-green edging. Begonias grow best in well-drained, humus-rich soil with moderate water. Apply a slow-release fertilizer sparingly in spring. Beautiful accent plant for borders and containers, or grow as a houseplant!
