Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We found this wonderful Begonia in CA a few years ago, and love how its green spiral foliage is accented in almost black. Pink flowers rise just above the 8" tall foliage. Foliar color changes when their are fluctuations of heat and light.

Deeply spiraled, smooth green leaves marked with chocolate edges make this compact grower highly desirable on any windowsill or indoor garden with limited space. The pink flowers rise above the foliage in spring and intermittently throughout the year. Grow in partial sun, dry out between waterings and prepare to be impressed. 'Euphrates' is similar to our popular Begonia 'River Nile'.
