FREE: Beefsteak Begonia

The listing, Beefsteak Begonia has ended.

No two Beefsteaks grow identically shaped. It is a plant of rare, unusual beauty which prompts conversation. Inspired by its leaves shape, some refer to it as a "pond lily" begonia. Beefsteaks are easy to grow and maintain, with little time demands. They respond optimally to very bright shade indoors but tolerate many different light situations, from brilliantly sunny to northern window shade. If allowed a few hours of direct sunlight in the winter, by mid to late winter they put on a spectacular fairyland dress show of dramatic, miniature, very pale pink, pendant blooms held high above the canopy on tall spiky stems. Valentine’s Day always seems to signal Beefsteaks to take center stage and celebrate the new spring-to-come with their festive, airy pageantry. The copper and bronze leaves of Beefsteak begonia are undercoated with burgundy red and grow from 2 to 7 inches in size, creating a canopy of unusual natural, earthy color.
