Begonia × hiemalis Peggy

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia×hiemalis, commercially known as Elatior Begonia, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Peggy’.

The new Begonia was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Glandorf, Germany, January, 1999, as a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Begonia×hiemalis ‘Carneval’, U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/641,719. The new Begonia was observed as a single plant in a group of flowering plants of the parent cultivar. The selection of this plant was based on its unique flower coloration and position of the flowers above the foliage.

Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia by leaf and terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Glandorf, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
