I know less than nothing about them..I bought this unlabeled plant the other day on pure impulse, hoping I could use it in one of my outdoor shade containers. Can anyone ID it for me(not even sure it's a Begonia..)?
Is this a Begonia?
That is a begonia. A rhizomatous type. It looks like 'Cleopatra' but there are so many that look alike.
Looks like B. 'Cleopatra'
Yes good for shade garden and an easy begonia to grow, well at least in Santa Barbara Ca...
Oh I just saw hcmcdole agrees

Ok, thanks. I don't see very many Begonias in the nurseries, so it was kind of an impulse buy. The ones I usually see have big blossoms in ultra bright colors, and I like more delicate looking ones. Any idea how big would this get in a pot over the summer?
For me it looks more like PALOMAR SHADOWS, or maybe PALOMAR PRINCE.
