Painters Greenhouse is known for our rex begonias. The King Begonia! The size and the health of our plants is hard to match and we are proud to offer these beauties as a gorgeous summer accent and/or houseplant!

Grown for their exceptionally-colored leaves in greens, reds, silvers and purples, Rex Begonias make for a stunning outdoor container plant. Just keep them out of direct sunlight as the foliage can burn. They prefer bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures so a covered porch is a great fit.  We absolutely love the colors and patterns combined with other part shade plants in combo baskets and pots!

Painters is carrying five different hybrids this season in 6.5” pots for $14.00. Find your favorite foliage in these masterful accent plants!
