Begonia 'Garden Angel Blush' (Hardy Begonia)
Hardy Begonia, Garden Angel Series, Shrub Begonia
Quite cold-hardy, Begonia 'Garden Angel Blush' is an upright, mounding, evergreen perennial noted for its eye-catching foliage and strong garden performance. It produces attractive pewter-silver palmate leaves that resemble those of a Japanese maple. They are adorned with a warm violet blush and coal-black veins. In late summer, clusters of small single pink flowers are held above the leaves. But the primary contribution of this hardy Begonia is the beauty of its rich foliage. Fast growing, it makes a valuable contribution to shady landscapes or containers.
- Grows up to 24 in. tall (60 cm) and 18 in. across (45 cm).
- Prefers part to full shade and fertile, rich, moist and well-drained soils. Provide good air circulation. Applying a winter mulch will increase the survivability in borderline areas.
- Cover the foliage with a deep mulch once the frost has hit the leaves.
- The eye-catching foliage mixes well with hostas, ferns and other shade perennials.
