Begonia U062 is a shrub-like Begonia species cultivar originating from Calcutta, India (Asia), first developed by Bob Cole in 1980 and published in 1984.
This selection is part of the U-series Begonia material maintained in cultivation and is variably described in its growth habit, with most references classifying it as shrub-like, though it is also often interpreted as cane-like or mallet-type in form.
U062 has no recorded parentage, but is historically significant as a registered cultivar reference used in breeding and documentation within the American Begonia Society system. Its importance lies in its documented lineage and morphological variability rather than ornamental commercialization, as it can be grown from stem or leaf.
Care of Begonia U062:
- Shade to partial sun
- Temp. 45 to 95 degrees
- 12 to 15 in. tall, humidity
- Humidity 65%+
Family: Begoniaceae
This plant is shipped in a 3.5 - 4 inch pot.
