Protected Series:
Zone: DARK LEAF MIX BEGONIA
Begonia Dark Leaf Mix provides a striking contrast in the garden, featuring deep, bronze-to-chocolate colored foliage that makes the blooms appear even more luminous. This mix typically includes a variety of flower colors - such as vivid reds, soft pinks, and crisp whites - all set against the dark, glossy leaves characteristic of fibrous begonias. The Mix maintain a compact, mounded habit, usually reaching 8 to 12 inches in height. The dark foliage is not only ornamental but also provides increased resilience, as the extra pigments help protect the leaves from sun damage compared to green-leafed varieties.
In the landscape, Begonia Dark Leaf Mix is incredibly versatile and can be used for mass plantings, border edging, or as a dark accent in container gardens. Because of the bronze foliage, these begonias are exceptionally sun-tolerant and can thrive in locations ranging from full sun to partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil rich in organic matter and benefit from consistent moisture, though they are notably tough once established.
