Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This striking plant native to Brazil displays dark green, heart-shaped leaves with thick lime-green veining and bright red edges. The leaves get darker with more sun exposure, thus the nickname Sun-Changing Begonia. Begonias grow best in well-drained, humus-rich soil with moderate water. Apply a slow-release fertilizer sparingly in spring. Beautiful accent plant for borders and containers, or grow as a houseplant! Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ from frost!
