More a scandent/trailing begonia. Grows well in summer heat and humidity but doesn't fare well in winter under lights and drier humidity.

Some say it is actually Manaus but to me it seems bigger, bushier, and healthier. Maybe the grower(s) give it more care than Manaus. Both are very finicky indoors and I eventually lose them in winter.

Thank you! I keep mine somewhat sheltered under my carport through the winter. It doesn't look good but bounces back quickly in the spring. I've had it several years now. One of my favorites!

Lowe's had them for sale a few years ago in 12 inch hanging baskets. Great plant in summer and takes a lot of sun very well. I think Alan Armitage (UGA) discovered this begonia and named it.
