Begonia Lucerna - Cane Angel Wing Begonia

Begonia ‘Lucerna’

A classic Angel Wing Begonia hybrid dating back to the early 20th century, Begonia ‘Lucerna’ is admired for its tall, upright canes and dramatic foliage. The long, glossy green leaves are shaped like angel wings and beautifully marked with clusters of silvery-white spots, while the undersides glow deep red. This striking contrast makes it a standout even when not in bloom.

When in flower, Lucerna produces showy clusters of bright pink blossoms that cascade gracefully from the canes. A mature plant can reach 3–5 feet tall indoors, making it an ideal statement plant for bright rooms, conservatories, or greenhouses.

The plants we offer are produced by tissue culture here in the USA at our home laboratory, ensuring strong, uniform growth and plants true to type. Begonia ‘Lucerna’ thrives in bright, indirect light with evenly moist, well-drained soil, and it appreciates moderate humidity. With good care, this heirloom hybrid rewards growers with bold foliage, tall architectural growth, and generous flushes of pink blooms.
