This Begonia features gorgeous heart shaped leaves with deep scarlet veining and stems. These plants form elegant flower clusters that drape from the stem (unlike most begonias) in pendulous fashion. The unusually beautiful flowers show up in pink to white colors just in time to help light up your fall shade garden.
