Begonia henryi Syria If you have a shady(aka: Begonia delavayi, Begonia mairei) Begonia henryi is one of those strangely little known, winter hardy perennial begonias. The jagged heart shaped leaves on this small, compact, 10" tall perennial emerge nicely patterned with purple and silver. The clumps are topped with stalks of pink flowers in September and October.
