Horticultural Description
Begonia Nocturna is a cane type with leaves that can range in color from a deep green to a medium brown with light pink flowers. This is a Dworkin hybrid without spots, Nocturna is able to summer outside in northern climates and prefers indirect sunlight.
“In our Lake Erie greenhouses, this cultivar produces its most vibrant foliage when given consistent morning light and steady warmth. When your order arrives, allow it to settle for 24 hours in indirect light before potting up into fresh, airy potting mix.”
