Customer Reviews
I purchased this brevirimosa after I attempted to grow one from a cutting unsuccessfully. I am so glad I purchased this plant from Canopy! It is beautiful, healthy, and after several weeks, is growing well in my collection. The green on the leaves has darkened to almost black, providing a striking background to the pink. It is a stunner!
The plant I received was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The price for the size I got can not be beat either. I promise canopy plant co. will not disappoint.
Beautiful plant! Begonia is so pretty & most importantly, it healthy
I have been seeing this begonia for a long while and finally decided to order for my birthday. I couldn’t of expected what I got when I unwrapped it! The leaves are the size of my hand. It’s so much and much larger than the photo. Some of the leaves were a little damaged (smooched) but overall just looked so healthy and olor was bright. Now that it’s been in place for a couple weeks it’s really opened up and is enjoying the spring. Super happy with it.
