Professional Growing Information While this plant did not grow tremendously, it was beautiful all season long. Today, on November 5th in zone 6A it is still blooming and gorgeous. I plan on overwintering it and I hope for the best. I highly recommend this begonia.

I grew this plant for around 8 or 10 years, when > lived in Roanoke, Va. Outside on a porch, with a roof, in summer, inside in an add-on, south facing laundry room, it thrived untill we moved to Kansas... ALL of my beautiful plants said "Gasp, choke, we can't live here!" Then they all DIED! After 25 years, I moved home to east Tn. I wish this came in white, but I will still get one!
