Begonia 'Steve's Leaves Green Knight' is a rhizomatous hybrid featuring silver-green leaves with white spots throughout and a succulent, leathery feel. The slightly glaucous green leaves have a shimmery sparkle to them that is hard to catch on camera. The ruffled surface of the leaves allows them to catch light at different angles for a dazzling visual effect. A spray of white flowers appears suspended above the foliage throughout the spring.
Along with B. 'Steve's Leaves Witching Hour' and B. 'Steve's Leaves Dorian Gray', this begonia is part of the trio of first releases by our in house hybridizer Kevin Morykwas. These sister hybrids all resulted from pollinating B. 'Grey Nurse' with B. lyniceorum.
