Begonia Rex Shadow King Wintergreen

About this product

Begonia Rex Shadow King Wintergreen delivers striking foliage in cool silver-green tones with deep, contrasting veining that reads beautifully in shade plantings. Its rhizomatous, well-branched habit fills a 4.5" pot quickly, making it a strong shade-color performer for retail and mixed containers. Grown for texture and color rather than bloom, it holds its impact all season.
