Begonia Escargot

Begonia rex Escargot

It’s easy to see how Escargot got its name - the leaves of this plant are organized in a spiral, like the shell of a snail, with a stripe of pale-coloured variegation twisting to the center of almost every leaf. Their curls draw just as much attention as a colourful bloom, and with each leaf growing almost as large as an outstretched hand, they demand centerstage. This Rex type begonia has foliage covered in fine hairs, adding a textural element to this unusual plant.
