The Begonia




One plant that is a staple at GROW but gets very little play is the Rex Begonia. Rex begonias are the showboats of the begonia world and are a type of rhizomatous begonia that are grown for their multicolored leaves. The leaves come in every color, pattern and shade, and every size and shape. All Rex Cultorum types are descended from the Indian species B. rex that was crossed with other types of rhizomatous begonias. Rex begonias do bloom but are not grown for their blooms which pale in comparison to their spectacular leaves. GROW is rarely not stocked with ton different types of Begonias to choose from so come by and check'em out.
