Fireworks Rex Begonia
Begonia 'Fireworks'
SKU
43715
An eye-catching selection with fantastic foliage. Deep plum veins are surrounded with silvery blue-green, encircled by an outer ring of frosty dark-magenta. Great in shade containers or as a house plant, but also does well in amended garden soil. Grows as a perennial in mild winter regions; treat as an annual elsewhere.
