I bought this begonia today and the tag said it was Begonia 'Helena'. Has anyone ever grown this begonia. It looks like a shrub type. What do you think?
Begonia 'Helena'
It looks like a tuberous to me. I googled for it and found a site showing the bloom which confirms a tuberous type. Follow directions for winter care on this type since it will go dormant and too much water will rot the tuber.

I envy those of you who live in a climate where you can find any begonias in the nurseries........we have good plant material in ours but not a begonia to be found since the weather stays hot so much of the year.............
