Rex Begonia ‘Escargot’ Begonia rex

Unavailable in 2024

Fantastic leaf forms and colors characterize the Rex begonia. Suitable as a houseplant, they also shine as a container accent or bedding plant in shady locations. Preferring full shade, they will also tolerate some indirect sun which serves to deepen the red and purple tones. Thrives in summer heat.

The native environment of Rex is typically high humidity and low light, but do not overwater. Allow to dry down somewhat between watering and maintain temperatures between 60-70 degrees F. Although a slow grower with specific requirements, Begonia Rex is a beautiful, long-lived specimen, well worth the extra effort.
