'Summer Storm' is a unique foliage begonia that is particularly appreciated for its large, heart-shaped leaves with a deep bronze-green to dark purple colour and striking markings. From spring until the first night frost, the decorative foliage is a real eye-catcher. In late summer, elegant clusters of soft pink flowers appear.
The plant prefers a sheltered spot in partial shade, in humus-rich, well-drained soil. With a protective layer of leaves or mulch, 'Summer Storm' is reasonably hardy and can withstand temperatures down to about -10 °C.
