Winter begonia
- Product number: 840500.1
- Origin: Asia
- Latin: Begonia grandis var. Evansiana
Beautiful, hardy begonia from the colder parts of Asia. The leaf is the first ornamental part that stands out: heart-shaped, grey-green with a reddish-brown underside. The small, single light pink flowers grow up to 1 meter high, have a soft scent and are edible! The plant flowers deep into autumn...! Give the plants a semi-shaded to fully shaded, moist spot; they will surprise you for years in spring. Some winter cover is recommended, as the plants tolerate frost down to -10°C.
