(Batik Begonia, Hiemalis Begonia)

Popular and everblooming, hiemalis begonias are shade-loving tender perennials that make superb bedding and container plants. These hybrids have arisen from several South American species, such as the winter-blooming Begonia socotrana and the beautifully flowered species that comprise tuberous begonias. So, they bloom prolifically in winter and their flowers are doubled like tuberous begonias but smaller. These may be white, yellow, red, orange or pink, depending on the cultivar. Their glossy, succulent...

Each upright leaf is comprised of many long, oval, jagged-edged leaflets that are silver with green veins, but have varying blushes of purple or pink.

(Begonia, Black Mamba Begonia)

Both the foliage and flowers of ‘Black Mamba’ stand out, though it is most admired as a foliage plant. Its velvety, star-shaped leaves are nearly black with contrasting burgundy undersides, and in winter it produces a lovely display of pink flowers.

It is a surprisingly vigorous, rhizomatous selection best-suited for container culture.

Each large leaf is star-like in appearance with...
