Begonia 'Barbara Rogers' (Barbara Rogers Hardy Begonia)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7b-10 36" tall Origin: Hybrid

Open House/Web-Only! Thanks to begoniaphile Rekha Morris for sharing this begonia that she found in the garden of...yes, Barbara Rogers of Anderson, South Carolina. Barbara has tracked this back to Norfolk, Virginia, but the trail runs cold there. The dark green foliage adorns the upright stems to 3' tall, although Rekha tells me they can reach 5' tall. From early summer until fall, the 3' wide clumps are adorned with large white flowers. We have been unable to determine the parentage, although it undoubtedly shares some Begonia x semperflorens parentage...very cool! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
