Begonia Yamor "Dark"

The Yamor Midnight Form

What Is Begonia yamor “Dark”?

Begonia yamor “Dark” is a location-based begonia collected from the Yamor region, known for its deeper, darker foliage tones. The name “Dark” refers to this specific form, which shows richer green to almost shadowed hues compared to lighter variants.

Like other Yamor begonias, it grows naturally in warm, humid rainforest environments under filtered light. It is not an aquatic plant and should never be submerged. Instead, it thrives in moist, well-draining soil with stable humidity.

The leaves are typically deep green, sometimes appearing almost dark olive under lower light. Visible veins and natural texture give the foliage depth and character.

Moody and elegant, Begonia yamor “Dark” is ideal for collectors who appreciate strong, rich foliage with a true rainforest presence.
