Large, pointed leaves spiral out in a compact mound, each one marked with deep, wine-red centres that bleed into silvery-grey margins for a dramatic, flame-like effect that instantly lifts a shady corner.

The glossy surface and subtle texture make it a natural focal point for a desk, shelf or side table where light is bright but indirect. In cooler months, delicate pink flowers can appear above the foliage, adding a soft contrast to the richly coloured leaves without stealing the show.

Begonia ‘Sangria’ thrives in a warm room away from cold draughts, and prefers bright, lightly filtered light rather than direct sun. Grow it in free-draining compost, keep the soil just moist, and you’ll have an easy-care houseplant that brings strong colour, structure and reliable indoor interest throughout the year.
