An abundance of 3.5 to 4.5 inches (9 to 11 cm) vibrant bi-coloured blooms and green heart shaped leaves adds depth to mixed combo planters, patio pots and hanging baskets. The frilly double flowers which are creamy white with rose-coloured edges bloom from mid-spring onward. The robust, well-branched growth of this begonia ensures it withstands breakage and wind damage. Joy is an easy-to-grow plant that thrives in drought and heat, requiring no deadheading. It also attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Deer tend to leave this plant alone in favour of tastier treats.
