Begonia 'Black Magic'

  • Description
  • Light/Soil/Water
  • Hardiness
  • The Begonia 'Black Magic' is a hybrid perennial plant, typically classified as a cane-like or angel wing type of Begonia. Its ancestors are tropical Begonia species native to Central and South America.

    The most striking feature is its foliage. The large, wing-shaped leaves display a deep green-black, almost velvety coloration that gives the plant its name. They are often adorned with unique, raised dots that add a pebbled texture.

    This plant produces clusters of small, delicate pink or white flowers, typically emerging in the summer. While lovely, the flowers are often considered secondary to the magnificent foliage.

  • Bright, Indirect Light. This is crucial for maintaining the deep, rich color of the foliage.

    Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch (or top 2 inches) of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

    Average, rich, and well-draining soil.

  • USDA Zone 10-12

    USDA Zone 9b: to -3.8 °C (25 °F)

    USDA Zone 10a: to -1.1 °C (30 °F)

    USDA Zone 10b: to 1.7 °C (35 °F)

    USDA Zone 11: above 4.5 °C (40 °F)
