Begonia COCOA™ 'Puff Pink' has fully double flowers in a “puff” of pink over dark foliage. This redo of the Reiger Begonias put the same unbeatable bloomability and even more interesting foliage into a very easy garden and container plant. Cocoa brown leaves with glowing emerald veins are smothered with pure pink powder puffs for months, and as a houseplant, it never stops blooming. Fairly sun tolerant, this upright beauty remains showy in the garden. Sterile flowers drop cleanly.
