about this plant
about this plant
Begonia erythrophylla (commonly known as the “beefsteak begonia”) is a rhizomatous, trailing-to-creeping species or hybrid with thick, glossy leaves that are dark green above and red or maroon beneath. The broadly rounded, almost kidney-shaped leaves can reach up to ~15 cm across. Pale pink flowers appear on stalks above the foliage, typically from late winter to early spring.
This begonia spreads via its rhizome along or just below the soil surface, producing offshoots, making it ideal for shallow containers, hanging baskets, or terrariums with sufficient humidity. It is relatively tolerant among rhizomatous begonias and has earned the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
