    This Begonia is supposed to be hardy in my zone 8a. I didn't take the chance though last winter and took it inside in a well-lit but unheated room, where it kept its foliage, while it normally would have gone dormant. This spring I rooted a piece and will risk that next winter in the full ground in my garden. Will update this next spring..
