About
Gryphon is a striking hybrid combining traits of cane and rhizomatous begonias, with deeply lobed, star-shaped dark green leaves carrying a metallic silvery sheen and prominent silver veining, backed by red leaf undersides. Its thick, upright stems and architectural leaf shape give it real presence as a statement foliage plant, distinct from the smaller-scale rex and rhizomatous begonias more commonly grown for leaf pattern alone.
