About Begonia 'Gryphon'
Gryphon is a 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.
Native range
Hybrid begonia bred by PanAmerican Seed, combining cane and rhizomatous begonia traits; exact parentage not publicly documented.

Before you buy
- Confirm leaves show the deeply lobed, star-like shape combined with a metallic silver sheen and prominent silver veining; a flatter, less lobed leaf suggests a different plant sold under this trade name
- Check that leaf undersides are red, a specifically noted trait for this cultivar
- Parentage isn't publicly documented for this hybrid, so treat any seller's specific breeding claim with caution and judge the plant on its own listed leaf traits instead
- Stems should be thick and upright, matching this cultivar's stated growth habit, not thin or trailing
- No tracked market-status or trend data yet, so treat an asking price as one seller's figure rather than a verified market rate
