Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This Brazilian species is a classic example of the marvels of nature's creations. The deeply crinkled lily pad leaves carry rich shiny green tones with red undersides. Its tightly formed growth habit highlights the leaf patterns. Although similar to B. ghertii, B. moysesii is much easier to grow and brings a defining presence to any collection. White flowers arise on short stems in summer.
