(Benary Begonia, Big Rose with Bronze Leaf Begonia)
Adored for beautiful blooms and wildly colorful foliage, Begonia is one of the largest genera of flowering plants. There are over 1,500 species and more than 10,000 cultivars and hybrids. They are found all over the world but most originate from sub-tropical and tropical regions.
The plants come in many different forms. They are fleshy, herbaceous and may be annual or perennial. In habit, they can be shrubby, climbing, or epiphytic (tree-dwelling). The leaves are simple or compound...

(Begonia, Black Mamba Begonia)
Both the foliage and flowers of ‘Black Mamba’ stand out, though it is most admired as a foliage plant. Its velvety, star-shaped leaves are nearly black with contrasting burgundy undersides, and in winter it produces a lovely display of pink flowers. This Terra Nova introduction was bred by Brad Thompson in 1993 as a cross between 'Peggy Frost' and 'Dr. Cleo.' It is a surprisingly vigorous, rhizomatous selection best-suited for container culture.
Each large leaf is star-like in appearance with...

(Boston Cherries 'n Chocolate Rex Begonia, Rex Begonia)
This group, one of many in the begonia family, is prized for its astounding leaves, which amply earn the designation “Rex” (King). The leaves vary wildly in shape from whorled or curled like a snail to broad and much-divided. They vary even more wildly in color and patterning. These begonias produce sparse sprays of small pink or white flowers but the leaves upstage and conceal the blooms.
Modern Rex begonias are complex hybrids that derive from crosses between the Southeast Asian native Begonia...

(Cocktail Brandy Wax Begonia, Fibrous Begonia, Wax Begonia)
Popular bedding plants, Cocktail Series wax begonias are tender perennials of hybrid origin. These plants are evergreen in tropical to sub-tropical zones but grown as annuals in temperate zones. The 'Brandy' cultivar displays a striking combination of clear pink blooms and dark bronze foliage.
These plants are best in well drained soil in full to partial sun. Sandy soils should have organic matter incorporated to diminish stress in summer's heat. As reliable bloomers they are often used as annuals...
Terra Nova Nurseries, Inc.
(Cathedral Begonia, Stained Glass Begonia)
Cathedral begonia amazes with cup-like leaves that have thin oval sections that let light through, resembling stained glass windows. This tender herbaceous perennial is the result of a old hybrid cross. Each leaf is held upright on long stems. It is cup-shaped and wavy edged, being glossy dark green above and a bronze-burgundy on the underside. In between each leaf vein is an oval area that is thin and transluscent, and is light green when viewed in the burgundy leaf underside. Ivory-pink flowers...

(Clara Begonia, Hiemalis Begonia)
Popular and everblooming, hiemalis begonias are shade-loving tender perennials that make superb bedding and container plants. These hybrids have arisen from several South American species, such as the winter-blooming Begonia socotrana and the beautifully flowered species that comprise tuberous begonias. So, they bloom prolifically in winter and their flowers are doubled like tuberous begonias but smaller. These may be white, yellow, red, orange or pink, depending on the cultivar. Their glossy, succulent...

(Cocktail Mix Wax Begonia, Fibrous Begonia, Wax Begonia)
Popular bedding plants, Cocktail Series wax begonias are tender perennials of hybrid origin. These plants are evergreen in tropical to sub-tropical zones but grown as annuals in temperate zones. The 'Cocktail Mix' group displays beautiful bronze foliage with a mix of pink, scarlet and white blooms that contrast nicely with the leaf color.
These plants are best growing in well drained soil in full to partial sun. Drier and sandier soils should be mulched to conserve moisture around these plants'...

(Beefsteak Begonia)
The beefsteak begonia is a classic begonia with glossy rounded leaves and stems filled with pinkish white flowers in winter. This tender herbaceous perennial is an heirloom hybrid. Each leaf is rounded or heart-like and dark glossy green with a reddened underside. In the center of the leaf there is often a thin, lighter green "star". In late winter, the plant produces many white and pink blushed flowers on branched stems well above, but also arching over the leaves.
Plant 'Erythrophylla' in a...
