Miller collection from Malaysia, which makes it all the more surprising that it has overwintered here into the upper teens F. For us, Begonia 'Pewterware' makes an 18" tall x 18" wide rhizomatous clump of wide silver foliage with a red back. The light pink flowers are nice, but nothing compared to the great foliage.
