Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Begonia ‘King Me’ is a striking Begonia variety with bright lime green leaves almost completely covered in a “web” of glossy, dark burgundy to chocolate patterns. The finely serrated and textured leaves are sparsely covered in fine hairs. 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. Even works as a terrarium specimen. Protect from frost!
