Begonia 'Katherine' is a striking large leaved rex cultivar. The leaves are silver with a dark brown center and brown running along the main veins. The dark brown also makes a wide band along the leaf margin with sparse silver dots. The leaf surface has a blistered texture. Like many rex hybrids, the colors in the leaves tend to vary depending on season. Colors tend to dull in the heat of summer but will become more vibrant again as the weather cools.
