Re: Hardiness of Begonia grandis 'Alba'?

Hello Marilyn,
    Took a look .... nice. He rates the hardiness at 8, so unless he is way
off (he says it is untested outside of the containers) it will not make it
in gardens here. I don't think I will purchase it as a container plant for
my wife at those prices plus shipping to this side of the big hills.
    Always some new pretties........
