COMMON NAME: BEGONIA REX, FIREWORKS

Pot Size: 12.5cm / 5″ / 125mm

The strong dark black, metallic silver, and vivid purple coloration of ‘Fireworks’ makes it one of the most striking and popular of the new cultivars available. Choosing companion plants that echo these rich colours results in an eye-catching combination.

The fabulous foliage of Rex Begonias offer a large range of colours, shapes, and textures. The foliage is the main feature of the Rex Begonia. They work especially well in pots and do their best in shady parts of your garden.

These plants prefer shaded, humid conditions and rich, aerated soil like that found on the forest floor. Too much water and fertilizer is the kiss of death for Rex Begonias. Soggy soil and prolonged wet leaves and stems can lead to rot, while highly concentrated fertilizer will burn the foliage. As long as you handle it with care as shown above, it will be an easy to care for shady plant!
