The Rex Begonia Vine, not a begonia at all, is spectacular for bringing intensely colored foliage to sun or shade gardens and looks particularly striking when grown so both the front and reverse of the leaves (deep red) can be seen. Even the stems are colorful; sporting the intense red color found on the back of the foliage. Looks great in a container; especially a hanging basket which makes it simple to bring inside for the winter.
