Begonia 'Steve's Leaves Starburst' is a smaller leafed hybrid. The leaves max out at around 4 inches. But that is the only thing small about this plant. It develops into a nice mounding plant that's leaves are a dark green starburst pattern radiating outwards. The center of each leaf is a bright pink that fades into a silvery-white. SL Starburst is a very fast grower and will create a nice specimen in no time. Like many rex hybrids, the colors in the leaves tend to vary depending on the season. Colors tend to dull in the heat of summer but will become more vibrant again as the weather cools.
