Often called the "Trailing Watermelon Begonia" (though it's not a true Begonia), the Pellionia repens variegata is a trailing plant. Its charm lies in the intricate pattern on its thin, textured leaves, which feature a dark green border surrounding a silvery, pale green centre. This variegation, combined with its reddish stems and low growing, spreading habit, makes it an exceptional choice for hanging baskets or terrariums where its delicate form can be fully appreciated. It’s a more unusual trailing plant that offers a subtle but complex beauty.
