Begonia Black Velvet

Description

Moody, mysterious, and totally irresistible—‘Black Velvet’ is the drama queen your plant shelf’s been waiting for. With deep, velvety leaves that shimmer in the light and serrated, maple-shaped edges, this begonia serves major gothic garden vibes.

Delicate, eyelash-like hairs line each leaf, giving it a soft, whimsical edge (hence the nickname eyelash begonia). Perched on fuzzy stems, it’s as textural as it is eye-catching. Give it bright, indirect light, consistent moisture, steady temps, and a little airflow, and it’ll thrive like the star it is.
