Sutherland's Begonia (Begonia sutherlandii): Hardy Tuberous Charm

Sutherland's Begonia (Begonia sutherlandii) is a delightful tuberous begonia native to southern Africa. It produces pendulous stems adorned with small, glossy green leaves and masses of bright orange-red, pendant flowers throughout summer. Unlike many begonias, it tolerates cooler temperatures and can be grown as a hardy perennial in mild climates, dying back to tubers in winter.
