(Begonia ‘Erythrophylla’)
This rhizomatic hybrid dates back over 150 years and our heirloom variety has been in cultivation more than half that time. Large glossy lily-pad shaped leaves have solid red undersides. Each spring brings showy stems of light pink blooms. This is a tropical growing begonia hybrid
Care Suggestions: Allow media to dry between watering and fertilize lightly once or twice per month. Bright indirect light. Generally prefers minimum temperatures of 60° as colder temps can cause leaf problems.
