The name of this one is 'Torsa'.
The leaves can be 12" to 14"...huge.

I noticed you've not had a response to your question. I am not familiar with this variety and did a search for it. I found this one on Ebay and wondered it if is what you are looking for. Try this link

I wrote to the seller and she informed me that the plants are dormant now but she even ships seed pods with three plants. Your thread doesn't have your zone listed. I am in Arizona and she further stated it should probably grow year round for me here.

Cindy,thank you for the info.
I have the(regular) hardy begonia but since I have seen the large leaf var.;I would love to grow it,too. I was hoping to maybe make a trade with someone here. Thank you again.
