Begonia 'Dainty Spray' Sport Variegata
Begonia 'Dainty Spray' Sport Variegata is a rare and highly collectable rex begonia distinguished by its beautifully variegated foliage. Each pointed leaf is uniquely splashed and marbled with shades of green, cream and buttery yellow, while delicate silver speckling adds further detail. No two leaves are exactly alike, making every plant a one-of-a-kind specimen.
Compact and bushy in habit, this unusual cultivar is perfect for bright indoor displays where its colourful foliage can be admired throughout the year. Given warm conditions, high humidity and bright, indirect light, it develops into an exceptional feature plant for collectors of rare begonias.
