Begonia 'Black Fang'
Begonia ‘Black Fang’ is a dramatic foliage begonia prized for its deeply lobed, sharply toothed leaves in intense shades of near-black, deep burgundy, and dark chocolate. The jagged leaf edges give rise to its name, creating a bold, almost gothic appearance that makes it a true statement plant.
Compact and highly decorative, this striking Begonia is ideal for bright indoor spaces with indirect light, where its dark foliage provides strong contrast against lighter interiors. It thrives in warm, stable conditions and suits shelves, side tables, or curated foliage groupings.
- Other names: Rex Begonia ‘Black Fang’
- Useful to know: Toxic if ingested - keep away from pets and children
- Eventual height: 30–40cm
- Origins: Hybrid cultivar; Begonia species native to tropical regions
