Begonia ‘Little Miss Mummey’
Begonia ‘Little Miss Mummey’ is a cane-like hybrid with an upright growth habit, and makes a beautiful potted specimen. The medium-sized black leaves are covered with raised silver spots. The backs of the leaves are a deep red color. The large white flowers hang down in large clusters in spring and summer. In very bright light the flowers have a blush of pink in them. This hybrid won the American Begonia Society’s Alfred D. Robinson Award for an outstanding cultivar in 2001. It is very easy to grow.
