Begonia rex hybrids

The Rex Begonias are kings of the Begonia  World, (Rex in Latin means king). These begonias display wildly varied leaves streaked, bordered, spotted, and splotched by many colors. They also flower, but generally the flowers pale in comparison to the beautiful foliage. The growth habit of Rex begonias is mounding and compact in nature. Hanging baskets suit  the plant's requirement for good air circulation. Lower light and cooler temperatures will really bring out the color in Rex begonias leaves and high light will cause all colors to fade. The soil must be well drained.
