The Begonia (Elatior Grp) double flowered Halo is a stunning addition to any garden or indoor space. With its pointed/acute leaf tips and oblique leaf base, it has a unique and elegant presence.

The begonia's leaf margin is hairy and erose, adding texture and interest to its overall appearance. The flower color is a rich red-dark red shade, labeled as 045A in the horticultural color system.

The leaves of this begonia are modestly sized, measuring 7.5-10 cm in length.
The leaf division of the double flowered Halo begonia is simple, with no visible lobes or divots. The main color of the leaves is a deep, lush dark green, which serves as a beautiful backdrop for the bright red flowers. The flower color distribution is unicolored, meaning that each bloom is consistent in its rich shade of red-dark red.
To care for the double flowered Halo begonia, it thrives in a well-draining soil mix and requires regular watering to maintain soil moisture. Like most begonias, it prefers bright, indirect light and can tolerate some shade. However, it should be protected from harsh direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves.
This begonia variety is an excellent choice for those looking to add a touch of elegance and color to their gardens or indoor spaces.
