DETAILS
FEATURES
Begonia maculata ‘Obsidian’ rocks a look as sharp as the volcanic glass it is named after. This dark, dramatic cane begonia flaunts asymmetrical, wing-shaped leaves of nearly black, growing atop bamboo-like shoots. Leaves have ruffled, serrated edges, and reddish undersides, which contrast strikingly with their dark green uppers. Like other “Angel Wing” or “Polka Dot” begonias, ‘Obsidian’ is spotted with silvery speckling.
