Like a pool of silver light, Space Age® Europa™ Begonia rex dazzles with large, metallic leaves that shimmer in the shade. Each leaf is intricately patterned—flooded with silver, rimmed in bold black, and touched with soft lavender at the center and edges. Adding to its appeal, small coral-red blossoms appear later in the season, offering a delicate contrast to the dramatic foliage.

This award-winning Rex Begonia thrives in part shade to shade, where its rich color and mounded habit make it an ideal filler plant in containers or a statement piece indoors as a houseplant. Heat tolerant, easy to maintain, and adaptable, Europa™ provides year-round foliage interest. Its unique blend of silver, black, and lavender ensures it stands out in any shaded space, bringing a sophisticated and modern look to gardens and homes alike.
