Begonia circumlobata ‘Chandlers Hardy’

(aka ‘Shaynegri-La’) Pretty deeply lobed foliage speckled in white on soft stems in clumps of about 12, this rare beauty was collected in China by Shayne Chandler . Has been hardy for us in Zone 8 with a mulch layer to protect the rhizome. Pink flowers late summer (but this is all about the FOLIAGE). Also thrives indoors. Bright shade, moist soils that drain; does not play well with aggressive tree roots. Lovely potted plant but will require protection in winter. This baby is SWEET!
