Pretty average plant arrived with extremely soft stems, potted but didn't reappear in spring. I should mention that the other two begonias aren't doing much better, they've barely shot up. I'm really disappointed.

Description
Begonia 'Garden Angel Plum' is a wonderful perennial Begonia, the largest of the 'Garden Angel' series. This plant is spectacular, not only because of the changing and multicoloured foliage, but also due to its amazing hardiness, allowing it to withstand temperatures as low as -10 to -12°C if its stump is well protected. It behaves like a perennial, persisting in mild climates but regrowing from the stump in mid-spring if it freezes too hard. Its foliage is particularly ornamental: palmate, with a grey-pink colour veined with dark purple and frosted with silver, it is adorned in summer with very charming pink-red flowers. This extraordinary plant brings a strongly exotic touch to containers, troughs or large hanging baskets. In the garden, it will accompany hostas, ferns and all shade-loving perennials.
Begonia 'Garden Angel Plum' is part of a very recent series of hybrids, beautifully named 'Garden Angel', developed in the U.S.A from naturally cold-resistant Begonias, such as Begonia grandis subsp. evansiana and Begonia chuyunshanensis. It is a herbaceous perennial plant, belonging to the Begonia family.
'Garden Angel Plum' has fleshy stems that develop heavily palmate leaves, a bit like maple leaves. They are thick, leathery, divided into 5 to 6 deeply dentate lobes. In 'Plum', their colour is a mixture of ashy, pink and purplish shades, with veins of very dark purple and reflections of tin or silver. Depending on the age of the leaves and the temperature, the colour evolves. This vigorous plant, almost shrubby for a Begonia, will quickly reach a height of 60cm (24in) with a diameter of 50cm (20in). Appearing in August-September, its small flowers are simple, dark pink, without frills but very fresh. They are carried by trailing peduncles.
This Begonia is ideal for open ground, in the company of shade-loving plants: hostas, ferns, Impatiens balfourii, Geranium phaeum and Asarums will be good companions. But to help it gain strength and be able to monitor and protect it from cold and gastropods, it is preferable to start its cultivation in a pot. It can be used in all shaded areas, in beds, in containers, large flowering pots, but also to create large hanging baskets, mixed with black-leaved Ipomoeas for example. In a very exotic spirit, a colourful bed can be created by associating this hardy Begonia with dwarf Cannas or Hedychiums.

Planting and care
The 'Garden Angel Plum' Begonia is planted in spring or autumn. It is placed in a humus-rich, fertile, light, moist but not waterlogged soil, in partial shade or even in shade. Choose large containers and leave a minimum spacing of 50cm (20in) in mass planting. The plant needs warmth to develop well and is tolerant to frost, in a sheltered location and with good winter protection at the base. It starts late in spring, not before the end of April, or even in May. In pots, water moderately and provide regular fertilization to support growth. Beware of snails and slugs that love to devour young plants, as well as stagnant moisture on the foliage (which promotes the appearance of leaf spots) and at the root level. In excessively wet or poorly drained soil, this begonia can be susceptible to collar rot.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
