Begonia ‘Black Fancy’ is a very striking rhizomatous hybrid with medium sized black leaves. At the point of petiole attachment the leaf is a very light green with light green veins running into the leaf. The leaf margin is cleft and the back side of the leaf is red. It has a very compact growth habit. It has light pink flowers in the late winter and early spring.
