Begonia ‘Irene Nuss’
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.
