    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Begonia chloroneura is an eye-catching variety of Begonia featuring brownish purple, elliptical leaves with chartreuse veining and red undersides. This plant is electric! The leaves emerge covered in bright red hairs that give them a fuzzy look. As they mature, the red hairs retreat to the leaf edges. Displays pale pink flowers above the foliage.
