Begonia Garden Angel Blush (Hardy Begonia)

Quite cold-hardy, Begonia 'Garden Angel Blush' is an upright, mounding, evergreen perennial noted for its eye-catching foliage and strong garden performance. It produces attractive pewter-silver palmate leaves that resemble those of Japanese maples. They are adorned with a warm violet blush and coal-black veins. In late summer, clusters of small single pink flowers are held above the leaves. But the primary contribution of this hardy Begonia is the beauty of its rich foliage. Fast-growing, it makes a valuable contribution to shady landscapes or containers.
