Begonia 'Don Miller' (Frosty)

'Don Miller' or 'Frosty' is a heavily variegated angelwing begonia.   Throughout the year clusters of pink blooms are produced and accent the frosty aurora of the leaves.  The beautifully patterned leaves take centerstage, but the blooms add a nice touch to the display. An easy to care for plant that is a great choice for containers.  Don't the let the mature size intimidate you, as angelwing begonias can be kept shorter by eliminating some fertilizer applications.
