5” Beefsteak Begonia

The rare Beefsteak Begonia, also known as Begonia Erythrophylla, is native to tropical and sub-tropical regions, making it a coveted find among collectors due to its scarcity in plant stores. Its standout feature is the striking leaf contrast, with glossy dark green on top and deep burgundy red beneath. This begonia, an early 1840s hybrid from the cross between B. hydrocolylifolia and B. maculata, is relatively easy to care for, thriving in well-lit areas with indirect sunlight. It can be placed outdoors during the summer, with a gradual introduction to outdoor conditions, providing partial shade and indirect sun during the hottest part of the day.

If you enjoy propagating plants, this unique Begonia variety is a satisfying choice. We offer eco-friendly containers in various colors: light pink, red, robin's egg, raspberry, grape, brown, crème/ivory, basil green, or celery green. Your chosen pot cover color will enhance the begonia's stunning leaf colors. This rare Begonia is particularly rewarding if you like propagating. Container colors may vary, so please specify your preference from light pink, red, robin's egg, raspberry, grape, brown, crème/ivory, basil green, or celery green.

While the actual bouquet may not perfectly match the image, its overall character will.
