Begonia Luxurians- 1 Feet Tall - Ship in 6" Pot
luxurians with flower this is a highly lusted-after species that forms an impressive column of luxuriant (yes!), tropical, almost sinister-appearing foliage, with the deeply cut, palmate leaves reaching over 16" across on mature specimens. It can reach 6-8' or more from mature rhizomes, and grows best in warm, partly shaded conditions with rich, moist soil and regular watering. The dense clusters of yellow and white flowers are very nice and show up in summer, but they are a secondary benefit to the foliage. This is a nice choice for a narrow spot with morning sun, like a porch entry, or is quite effective against a dramatic background (painted wall, bamboo fence, etc.). It is hardier than most realize, behaving much like B. boliviensis by going fall/winter dormant to a large rhizome under cool conditions. But if the soil freezes so will the bulb. The important point is that it is relatively resistant to cold, wet soils. Sunset zones 16-24/USDA 9, as a patio, houseplant, or indoor/outdoor anywhere.
