Begonia ‘Steve’s Leaves Pink Elephant’ is one of our newest rex cultivar introductions. The large leaves have a wide band of silver in the middle with dark markings a the point of petiole attachment and along the edges of the leaf blade. Within these dark markings are dots and splashes of pink and silver. This wide band of silver also has a pink blush mixed in with it. These large leaves are topped off with a large and distinct spiral. The large flowers are a bright pink. This is a real stand out.
This plant won the 2024 2nd Place Cultural Award Rex-Cultorum Commercial Grower, Southwest Region ABS Conference, Austin TX, May 3, 2024.
