Begonia 'Matcha Chocolate' is a striking ornamental plant admired for its dramatic foliage. Its broad, heart-shaped leaves display a fresh green base, delicately adorned with shimmering silver speckles and intricate silver patterns. Deep chocolate-red veins run through the center, with the same rich hue framing both the leaf’s edges and central axis. This layered contrast of green, silver, and chocolate-red creates a decadent, dessert-like appearance.
