Begonia maculata 'Ruby Compact ' is a compact and vibrant variety of the famous "spotted begonia". This selection stands out for its oval, elongated leaves in shades of dark green dotted with silver spots and with an intense ruby reverse. The texture of the leaves is slightly glossy, and the overall appearance is sophisticated, tropical and ornamental.
Being more compact than the classic form, this variety is ideal for small spaces or decorative corners and performs excellently in hanging pots, planters or on bright shelves.
