A new introduction with white flowers and attractive mossy green leaves with distinct red veins underneath. More compact than more common types to 40cm. Shade, hardy with a mulch.

As with the other forms of Begonia grandis, 'Snowpop' should be perfectly hardy in most areas of the UK as long as the soil is drained, but not too dry, and a mulch of bark chips or similar in the autumn will help to protect the tuber.
