Begonia ‘Gideon’

Begonia Gideon is a thick-stemmed hybrid created by Freda Holley. This is a very interesting hybrid. The leaves vary from olive green to a creamy yellow variegation. This variegation shows up in the warmer times of the year. The leaves are large and it grows upright until it gets heavy. With some staking it can get quite tall. Some leaves will be variegated and some will stay green.
