Rex Begonia Hybrid – Hanging Basket | Velvety Pink & Silver Foliage
Velvety, Painterly & Absolutely Stunning
This extraordinary Rex Begonia hybrid is a foliage collector's dream — a full, spreading specimen in a nursery hanging basket with some of the most striking leaf patterning in the houseplant world. Each large, softly fuzzy leaf is a layered painting of pale silver-green at the outer edges, melting into blush pink and rose tones through the middle, deepening to a dramatic burgundy-almost-black starburst pattern radiating from the center. No two leaves are identical. The stems and leaf edges are characteristic Rex begonia — softly hairy and tactile — and photo 3 reveals a flower bud forming at the crown, ready to open.
