This is a fast growing rex cultivar that we aptly referred to as "Silver with Dots" before we finally settled on a proper name: 'Dutch Sunrise' It has large leaves and a full growth habit. The leaf is silver with black main veins and pink fused from the black to the silver. The leaf margin is green with silver dots and a thin black edge. 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.
Care of Begonia 'Dutch Sunrise':
Shade to partial shade, temp. 45 to 90 degrees, 10 to 12 in. tall, allow getting fairly dry between watering.
Family: Begoniaceae
This plant is shipped in a 3 - 4 inch pot.
