Rex Begonias That Are Root Hardy?

| Has anyone found any Rex Begonias that are root hardy in zone 7B-8 when well mulched? I've found some plants that are normally grown as houseplants are root hardy when well mulched here in metro Atlanta. When I lived at my other house not far from where I live now I had a Rex Begonia that came back for a few years when planted outside. |

| The only one that I've read about that may be hardy would be 'Metallic Mist'. You can also experiment but don't expect too much. |

| I've been researching hardy begonias (other than B. grandis) and I've never heard of any rex begonias that are hardy. 'Metallic Mist' is not a rex begonia but it is fairly hardy. One that I planted last summer survived the winter, albeit an unusually mild one. |
