Description

Irene Nuss Begonia is a vibrant and eye-catching cane begonia prized for its beautifully colored and textured foliage. Its leaves are asymmetrical, heart-shaped with deep serrations, and display a captivating mix of bronze, olive green, and burgundy-red, especially concentrated along the veins and margins. It produces clusters of delicate pink-tinged flowers on tall, bamboo-like stems. More tolerant of average humidity than some begonias, it is a robust and showy plant that adds a long season of colorful interest to bright indoor spots.

  • Colorful, Textured Foliage: Heart-shaped, serrated leaves in shades of bronze and green with striking red veining and edges.

  • Abundant Delicate Flowers: Produces hanging clusters of small, pale pink flowers on tall stems above the foliage.

  • Upright, Bamboo-Like Canes: Grows with strong, jointed stems that give it structure and height.

  • Moderate Humidity Needs: While it appreciates humidity, it adapts reasonably well to typical indoor conditions better than many other begonias.

  • Long-Lasting Display: Provides ornamental interest from its foliage and flowers over many months.
