You will receive a similar plant to the one photographed and not necessarily the same. If you would like a photo of the exact plant we are sending, just drop us a line! Pots and plants are sold separately unless otherwise specified in the listing.
Begonia tenella is a charming, low-growing begonia grown for its delicate foliage and compact habit. Perfect for sheltered containers, terrariums, woodland-style planting, and shaded patios, it adds texture and softness to planting schemes without overwhelming neighbouring plants. Although a perennial in frost-free climates, it is best treated as a tender perennial in the UK and protected from cold winter temperatures.
Plant Care
Position: Bright shade to dappled shade in a sheltered location. Avoid strong afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained. Avoid allowing the soil to become waterlogged, particularly during cooler weather.
Hardiness: Tender perennial. Not frost hardy and should be protected from temperatures below 5°C.
Hot Tips: Excellent for pots, terrariums, shaded courtyards, and mixed container displays. Pair with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-loving plants for a lush, layered look. In colder areas, move containers indoors or provide frost protection over winter.
