Protected Series:
Zone: DARK LEAF RED BEGONIA
Begonia Dark Leaf Red is a classic choice for high-impact landscape design, offering a bold and moody color palette. This variety features rich, bronze-maroon foliage that creates a deep, velvety canvas for its vibrant, scarlet-red flowers. Growing into a consistent, compact mound of about 8 to 12 inches, it provides a dense carpet of color that remains uniform throughout the season. The dark pigmentation in the leaves acts as a natural sun-shield, making the "Dark Leaf" series particularly robust and resistant to fading in bright environments.
Dark Leaf Red Begonia is exceptionally versatile, performing reliably in locations ranging from full sun to partial shade. In the landscape, it is most effective when planted in large groups to create a sea of red and bronze, or as a sharp, defined border along walkways and garden beds. It thrives in fertile, well-drained soil and requires moderate, consistent watering - though it is important to avoid over-saturating the soil to protect the root system.
