I have seen some plants labelled 'Solena' for sale.
They are available in yellow and red and look like bedding plants - a bit
like begonias.
What exactly are solena - I cannot find any details on the web - and how
are they grown?

Thanks.

oops
I should have called them 'Solenias' but I still know nothing about them.

They are still Begonias x hiemalis. Google 'begonia solenias' for culture.
