Description :

  • Botanical Name: Begonia 'Don Miller'

  • Common Name: Frost, Frosty

  • Description:  ‘Frosty’ is a bushy begonia that is erect with succulent stems. The many everblooming flowers are single and white in color. The bronze leaves are shiny, smooth and ovate. This plant can tolerate full sun. Soil should ideally be moist. Begonias grow very well in peat-based compost also. Likes humidity. Does not like cold weather. Pinching tips and pruning outer stems in the growing season gives a bushier plant, good for hanging baskets. Remove dead foliage to prevent disease.
