Begonia ‘Silbreen’
Description:
Introduced by M. L. MacIntyre in 1974, this rhizomatous hybrid forms a creeping rhizome and produces attractive medium-sized, smooth green leaves with clusters of soft pink flowers from March to June. Its compact, spreading habit makes it well suited to containers and hanging baskets, where it thrives in bright, filtered light and moist, well-drained soil. Like many rhizomatous begonias, it is easy to propagate by division or stem cuttings.
