Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Begonia ‘Ice Capades’ is a distinguished Angel Wing variety featuring dark green leaves covered in silver spots. Light pink flowers will bloom above the foliage. Begonias grow best in well-drained, humus-rich soil with moderate water. They prefer high humidity and indirect sunlight. Apply a slow-release fertilizer sparingly in spring. This makes a beautiful accent plant for a border or container, but is primarily used as a houseplant. Protect from freezing temperatures.
