Begonia ‘Snowcap Variegated’ is an elegant rhizomatous begonia prized for its deep green leaves dusted with bright silver-white speckles, resembling freshly fallen snow. Originating from tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this variety combines luxurious variegation with a compact growth habit, making it a striking yet easy indoor accent. The thick, textured leaves shimmer beautifully under natural light, creating a frosted look that feels both sophisticated and playful.
FLOWER DETAILS
Produces delicate clusters of pale pink to white flowers above the foliage during its active growing season. Though subtle, these blooms contrast gracefully with the dark leaves, adding a touch of softness to the plant’s sculptural form.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
