Begonia ‘Black Bat’ is a striking rhizomatous begonia with jagged, toothed leaves so darkly coloured they appear almost black, lifted by bright green centres and deep red undersides. Bold and architectural, it makes an unforgettable feature plant.

Origins

Begonias are found across the tropics and subtropics of Asia, Africa and the Americas, where rhizomatous species grow along shaded, humid forest floors and rocky banks.
