B. ‘T Rex’ series’

When is a Rex not a Rex? When it's a T REX™! Our breeders have taken some good forms and bred in new species which look like a Rex, but feel different and even grow differently! Strong, thick leaves adorn vigorous plants that can be grown in cooler temperatures that would "slay" most Rexes. These TERRA NOVA® Begonias require growing conditions above 55º Fahrenheit (13º Celsius). However, once established, they can tolerate temperatures down to 38º (3º Celsius) Fahrenheit without damage. Each variety has an upright habit and features silken, shimmering leaves with stunning, saturated color. Absolutely the best the market has to offer. Heat and humidity tolerant.
