The Begonia masoniana ‘Boulder’ is a highly decorative rhizomatous begonia, prized for its large, textured, deeply crinkled leaves. Its green foliage generally features a dark cross-shaped mark in the center, characteristic of the “Iron Cross Begonias” group.
The slightly velvety leaves and their pronounced texture give this variety a particularly exotic appearance. The plant forms a compact clump from its rhizomes and can produce small pink or whitish flowers when mature.
Caution! Toxic if ingested.
