應用 Application

葉色特殊,有別於其它葉色較深的秋海棠,擺放在一起時可以發揮襯托其它秋海棠與觀葉植物的功效。適合室內環境或戶外遮蔭處的造景或地被植物使用,也能做為盆栽或吊盆植物欣賞。

The unique leaf coloration is different from other darker begonias; this begonia plays a role of setting off other begonias and foliage plants when they are displayed together. It can be grown indoors or for landscaping, as groundcover in outdoor shades; also planted in pots or in hanging baskets to add interests.
