Viking® XL 'Red on Chocolate' Begonia | Creekside Champions™

Cherry-red blooms set against deep chocolate-brown foliage.

Viking® XL ‘Red on Chocolate’ Begonia is a vigorous annual grown for bold color contrast, forming a full, structured mound that delivers nonstop blooms and rich foliage from spring through fall.

What You'll Use It For

A strong pick when you want contrast that actually reads from a distance.

• Creating a bold focal point in large containers
• Adding depth and contrast to sunny beds
• Pairing with lighter greens or whites for balance
• Filling space with a full, structured plant
• Anchoring mixed plantings with strong color

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

Creekside Champions are selected for beauty, resilience, and proven garden performance.

Red alone can feel flat. This doesn't. The cherry-red blooms sit on top of chocolate foliage, giving you built-in contrast instead of relying on other plants to create it. It grows in full, holds its shape, and keeps blooming without dropping off mid-season—even in heat.
