Begonia ‘Matcha Ice Cream’ is a striking foliage begonia named for its refreshing, dessert-like appearance. Its heart-shaped leaves are painted in silvery white and soft green patterns, reminiscent of swirls of matcha and cream. Deep red veins radiate from the center, adding contrast and depth, while the rich purplish-red edges accentuate its refined beauty.
