Shrubby, branching plants that look very much like a rex begonia, with palmate leaves that are a striking metallic rose red with attractive veining. The exotic pink flowers in August are an added bonus. Height 60-75cm (24-30). Hardy to -5 degrees C. Supplied in 9cm pots. Begonia Rex varieties, grown almost exclusively for their foliage, have marvellous leaf markings in lime green, silver grey, violet & crimson.
