Begonia
'Freddie'
|
| Begonia 'Freddie' was hybridized by
Rudolph Ziesenhenne in Santa Barbara. It is noted for leaves that
can get huge. They are glossy green on the top and red
underneath. The flowers, while nice, are secondary. They are
pale pink or near white on a stalk held above the foliage. It makes
a wonderful houseplant as well as outdoor shade plant where the weather
conditions are mild. Rudy suggested that they be grown on a mixture
of oak leaf mold and washed sand. Looking at his plants it can't be
bad advice.
