Begonia 'Steve's Leaves Hornet' is a sibling to B. 'Steve's Leaves Yellow Jacket', 'Steve's Leaves Hornet' and 'Steve's Leaves Bumble Bee' which are part of our yellow flowered series of hybrids. The leaves are cream and pink colored with dark veins. The yellow flowers stand out against the pink leaves for a beautiful and unique display. 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.
