Begonia ‘Harmony’s Fire Woman’ — Rex Begonia

Description

Begonia ‘Harmony’s Fire Woman’ is a colorful Rex begonia with red, pink, burgundy, and silver leaves. Its bold foliage makes a strong accent in bright indoor rooms and shaded patio pots.

This compact plant is grown for its leaves more than its flowers. It does best with warm air, soft light, and soil that drains well.

Light

Give it bright, indirect light. Keep it out of harsh midday sun. For another bold Rex begonia, see Begonia ‘Escargot’.

Water and Soil

Use loose soil that drains well. Water when the top of the soil starts to dry. Do not leave the roots wet. Begonia ‘Granada’ likes similar care.

Warmth and Humidity

Warm air and steady humidity help the leaves stay full and bright. Keep the plant away from cold drafts. Good airflow helps protect the foliage.

Growth and Care

Trim old leaves at the base and feed lightly during active growth. For another rich red foliage plant, see Begonia rex ‘Fireflush’.
