Begonia (Begonia x 'Mocca Pink') - Description

From the breeders of the ever-loved 'Nonstop' begonia comes this haunting beauty. Serrated, deep chocolate foliage with bright green veining peeks out below large 4-5", perfectly formed bright pink blooms. The color combination is electrifying, and is just lovely in a small garden bed, in individual specimen containers, or in mixed planting urns. Provide well-worked and well-drained soil for this little 10" annual.
