Begonia rex 'Escargot'

Begonia rex 'Escargot' is a striking foliage begonia known for its spiral‑shaped leaves that curl inward like a snail shell, giving the plant its name. The leaves are textured and patterned with shades of silver, green, and deep burgundy, making it a standout decorative plant. It grows in a compact, mounded form and is best appreciated for its unique foliage rather than blooms. This variety prefers stable indoor conditions and does well as a tabletop or shelf plant.
