Is this what they call the 'hardy begonia?
Can you help ID this?
No this isn't the hardy begonia but can be weedy enough to be considered hardy. It's probably cucullata or fischeri - species "wax" begonias.
OK, it is definately 'hardier' than most begonias. With protection, it can stay outside. I really like it, but it does have a tendency to get leggy. Thanks again.
Here is the hardy begonia B. grandis

ok thanks, it has more of a pink bloom
And much larger leaves. Grandis I believe is from Asia and cucullata and fischeri from Central America. A side by side picture would help immensely.
