Each 11.75
Indigenous to the cloud forests in Peru, Columbia and Ecuador, this lustrous shrub-like perennial celebrates enchanting pendent pale pink blossoms. The fleshy, semi-upright reddish stems gracefully bow from the weight of clustered, bee-friendly flowers amid petite serrated dark green leaves. Brimming with loveliness, Begonia foliosa vows a tropical fuschia-like milieu for sheltered beds, hanging baskets, containers plus indoor sunny window sills. It’s evergreen habit detests extreme heat, though cherishes bright shade, a humid, well-drained, evenly moist nook and cold protection around 38°.
