Begonia Corallina de Lucerna ‘Angle wing’ 6656

🦊 Begonia corallina de Lucerna, often called the Lucerna Cane Begonia or Angel Wing Begonia ‘Lucerna’, is an elegant, upright hybrid from Switzerland. It was bred from Begonia coccinea and Begonia aconitifolia in the early 1900s, prized for its tall, bamboo-like canes and dramatic, wing-shaped leaves. The foliage is deep olive green with silvery speckles on the top and rich red undersides, forming a graceful, airy silhouette that brings tropical sophistication to any indoor space.
FLOWER DETAILS
This variety is known for its generous clusters of coral-pink flowers that hang gracefully from arching stems. Blooming throughout spring and summer — and often indoors year-round under bright light — the flowers contrast beautifully against the dark leaves, earning the plant its “coral” name.
