Begonia 'Rouge'

The French say it simply and perfectly: rouge. And Begonia ‘Rouge’ lives up to the directness of that name — a cane Begonia where deep, saturated reds take centre stage, whether in the flush of flower clusters or in the dramatic leaf tones that give the plant its character even between blooms. It is a plant that commits to its colour and carries it with complete conviction.

Against the pale neutrals of most indoor spaces, a Begonia with genuine red presence is an event. Rouge brings that quality reliably and generously, with the uncomplicated care requirements that make the best cane Begonias such satisfying plants to live with. A bold, beautiful choice for a bright spot that needs something to anchor it.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light — more light deepens the red tones and encourages prolific blooming.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist. Let the top inch dry slightly before watering. Never waterlog.
• Humidity: Moderate to high humidity. Use a pebble tray rather than misting the leaves.
• Temperature: 18–28°C. Protect from cold and frost.
• Soil: Rich, well-draining potting mix. Slightly acidic preferred.
• Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during the growing season for the best colour and most blooms.
