‘Soli-Mutata’ is an intriguing variety of Begonia that is much loved for its sun-changing qualities. This popular perennial produces masses of bright green and brown coloured leaflets, that are lumpily textured and glossy to the eye. From early Spring to mid-Summer bundles of white blooms will appear, complementing its striking foliage perfectly. Ideal for growing in patio pots and borders, be sure to position in semi shade where it can progress to a height of 75cm. If you are looking for a unique Begonia to add vibrancy and drama, this is your one! Begonia ‘Soli-Mutata’ forms neat mounds of large, heart-shaped leaves.

Place your Begonia in a bright spot that is not in direct sunlight – an east or west-facing windowsill is ideal. Water regularly but avoid overwatering or letting the plant sit in water. Aim the water directly onto the compost, avoiding splashing the leaves as much as possible. Feed fortnightly between May and September with a plant food that is high in potassium (for cane-types where abundant flowering is most important) or high in nitrogen (for rex-type or foliage varieties). Reduce watering in winter, allowing the surface of the compost to begin to dry out before watering again. In winter keep your begonias above a minimum temperature of 13°C. Plants can be brought outside in summer once night temperature reliably exceeds this.
