Space Age™ Triton™
Begonia
Quite unlike its series companions in appearance, this smaller-leaved Rex begonia grows vigorously to form a very dense, compact mound. Its dark green leaves have far smoother edges, and the entire leaf surface is blasted with a fine, silver mist like a glimmering dewfall.
