Rhizomatous Begonia 'Kit Kat' 4 Inch

Begonia rhizomatous hybrid

A unique member of the Begonia family to grow as an indoor houseplant or a colorful foliage plant for shady containers outdoors. Rhizomatous begonias are tropical plants, similar to Rex begonias, offering leaves with colorful patterns and intriguing textures in various earth tones, shades of green, yellow, red, and brown. They differ by producing flushes of winter to spring blooming flowers above their foliage. This variety features small, olive green to bronze foliage with chartreuse spots covering a compact, mounding habit. Delicate white to blush pink plumes of flowers bloom in winter. Plant in peat-based potting mix and ensure pot drainage holes. Grow in part shade to shady areas outdoors and bright, indirect light indoors. Begonias prefer well-drained soil with average moisture. Feed regularly with a slow release, multipurpose fertilizer. Follow label instructions. No deadheading necessary, but helps keep the plant tidy and blooming nicely. Mulch 2? to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
