Reviews
Give shaded, North facing rooms a splash of colour with the dramatic foliage of these spectacular Begonia rex hybrids. Our Begonia rex Trio features 3 distinctive cultivars with beautifully patterned leaves. They may look exotic, but these shade loving house plants are surprisingly easy to grow. Height and spread: 30cm (12”).
- Begonia rex Trio comprises:
- Begonia rex 'Escargot' - Spirals of olive-green and silver create a hypnotic pattern on the top side of each leaf, while underside is covered in a soft down of pink hairs.
- Begonia rex 'Helen Teupel' - A classic Begonia rex hybrid that has been grown since its introduction in 1928, boasts deeply serrated leaves with exquisite grey-green and pink variegation.
- Begonia rex 'King's Spirit' – Leaves are individually patterned in silver and moss-green, which contrast sharply with the maroon red stems and veins.
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
Please note: Some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you.

Position Begonia rex in a warm room away from cold draughts and radiators, with a constant temperature above 16C (60F). Begonia rex requires a bright but lightly shaded spot, well away from the direct glare of the sun.
More Info Water Begonia rex plants freely between spring and autumn, allowing the pot to drain well after each watering. In winter, reduce watering but do not allow the compost to completely dry out. House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth. Begonia rex appreciates a humid atmosphere - stand it on a tray filled with pebbles and water. As the water evaporates it will increase humidity around the plant.
