Velvety, round and cute; The Creeping Begonia
A South American Begonia which displays a strong sense of creeping; it’s rounded leaves, which change color from green to dark indigo, spread out in a densely packed way. It branches well and because it naturally covers a ground surface, it is a valuable type of Begonia for use in layouts as a ground cover. It’s hardy but if the leaves get excessively steamy, they wilt and may fall off. It likes to be raised in slightly dryer environments than other Begonias.
