When it comes to houseplants that are both unique and low-maintenance, Saxifraga Stolonifera ‘Tricolor’, commonly known as the Strawberry Begonia or Strawberry Geranium, is definitely worth exploring. Its enchanting blend of colors, charming trailing habit, and resilience make it a favorite among both novice and experienced gardeners.

The plant earns its ‘Tricolor’ name from its three-toned foliage. The leaves have a deep green in the leaf center, creamy white or light pink edges, and are lined in a pink that becomes more pronounced and vibrant as the plant is exposed to light.
