Introducing the new, gorgeous Space Age™ Black Hole™ begonia. This stunning cultivar dazzles with its shimmering silver leaves, beautifully edged in bold black and enhanced by rich dark green veining. The centerpiece bursts forth in a dramatic display of burgundy to black, creating a captivating focal point. Occasionally, you might even be surprised by the appearance of small, coral red blossoms, adding a delightful pop of color. With its lush, upright growth, this plant is a perfect choice for shaded containers, and it also makes a fabulous houseplant, bringing a touch of elegance to any space.

The Eco+Grande features nutrients embedded in the container walls, which help plants grow bigger and faster throughout the season when planted in the ground. Be sure to remove the tabs from the container before planting. If you choose to plant in a container, we recommend taking the plant out of the Eco+Grande, breaking it apart, and mixing it into the soil at the time of planting. When the Proven Winners Eco+Grande container is discarded in the garbage can, it will naturally break down faster in a landfill than a traditional petroleum made container. The container will get smaller and smaller until microbes consume it, turning it back into an inert organic product. Learn more about this on our blog.

Care: Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food for best performance.
