Begonia 'Strawberry'

The main plant forms a low mound 6–8 inches tall; flower stalks can reach up to 2 feet.

The central rosette can be 1–2 feet wide, spreading further via runners.

Ideal for hanging baskets or containers where its runners can cascade. When used as a groundcover, space plants 12–18 inches apart.

Evergreen

Forms a low-growing rosette of rounded, slightly fuzzy, dark green leaves. The leaves are beautifully overlaid with a prominent network of silvery veins, and their undersides are typically a rich reddish-purple.

In late spring or early summer, it sends up tall, slender stalks bearing a delicate spray of small, white, asymmetrical flowers. It also reproduces by sending out long, reddish runners (stolons) that form new plantlets at their tips.

Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade. Keep out of direct, hot sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Easy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and provide good drainage. It is a relatively fast grower that is very easy to propagate from the plantlets.

A shallow, fibrous root system that prefers consistently moist but well-draining soil.
