Begonia ‘Corallina de Lucerna’ - Angel Wing Begonia

Begonia ‘Corallina de Lucerna’ (Angel Wing Begonia) is one of the most well-known and long-loved cane begonias, prized for its striking spotted foliage and reliable flowering. First developed in the early 20th century, this cultivar has stood the test of time thanks to its combination of elegance and resilience.

Its elongated, wing-shaped leaves are deep green with distinctive silver spotting, carried on upright, bamboo-like stems that give it height and structure. Under the right conditions, it produces cascading clusters of soft pink flowers, often appearing multiple times throughout the year.

Unlike some more delicate begonias, ‘Lucerna’ is known for being relatively forgiving, making it a great entry point into cane begonias while still appealing to collectors who appreciate its classic status. It’s a plant that feels both vintage and contemporary—equally at home in a minimalist space or a lush, layered plant display.
