Pigskin Rhizomatous Begonia

Large, puckered green leaves accentuate each pucker with a small point on a plant that can reach a fairly good size. Stout flowering stalks are covered in clouds of smallish pink flowers, a dainty contrast to the bold textured leaves. Rhizomatous begonias prefer bright light, continuously moist soils, warm temperatures, and high humidity. If provided these conditions, plus an annual rest period and a periodic trim to keep them in shape, they can grow happily for years.
