Begonia luxurians ~ Palm Leaf Begonia |
|
Begonia luxurians will grow to eight feet tall in a good location. The Palm Leaf Begonia
prefers a protected location with light shade and rich soil or at least afternoon sun
protection. Begonia luxurians will be damaged if temperatures dip into the 20's though will
survive to the mid-20's. The leaves of the Palm Leaf Begonia are susceptible to wind damage.
The large two toned umbrella-like leaves can make a garden look very tropical. The water
requirements of Begonia luxurians are far less than the look implies. The white flowers
are held upright at the tips of the branches.
High resolution images of Begonia luxurians are available.
