Cane Begonia
Exceptionally beautiful, Begonia ‘Looking Glass’ is an upright, evergreen perennial noted for its eye-catching foliage of large, silvery leaves, up to 12 in. long (30 cm), adorned with olive-green veins and cranberry-red undersides. In late spring and summer, attractive clusters of pink flowers are an added bonus. Fast-growing, it makes a valuable contribution to shady landscapes or containers.
