Strawberry Begonia
This low-growing perennial forms neat rosettes of succulent green leaves, from which slender, trailing stems emerge. In spring, tiny star-shaped flowers appear along the stems, creating a delicate, sparkling display that adds charm and lightness to rockeries, walls, or containers.
Its trailing habit makes it ideal for cascading over edges, filling crevices, or softening hard garden surfaces. The compact rosettes and fine foliage provide year-round texture, making it a versatile plant for small or challenging spaces.
Thriving in part shade with well-drained, humus-rich soil, it is hardy and low-maintenance. Once established, it requires minimal care beyond occasional watering during dry periods and the removal of spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance.
A perfect choice for gardeners seeking gentle colour, cascading interest, and subtle elegance, this perennial delivers reliable performance, soft architectural form, and enduring charm in rockeries, walls, alpine gardens, or containers.
