Begonia Garden Angel Silver (Hardy Begonia)

Quite cold-hardy, Begonia 'Garden Angel Silver' is an upright, mounding, evergreen perennial noted for its eye-catching foliage and strong garden performance. It produces shiny, bright silver, palmate leaves that resemble those of Japanese maples. They are adorned with mint green veins and little glints of frosty white at the leaf edges that catch the eye. In late summer, small bright pink flowers are an added bonus. 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.
