Begonia sp. 'Pewterware'
Best distinctive plant for adding elegance to shade gardens.
This rhizomatous standout trades the typical fussy begonia reputation for surprising cold tolerance and a striking, metallic aesthetic. While the delicate pink blooms are a nice bonus, the real draw is the high-contrast silver foliage that brings an architectural edge to any container or indoor collection.
