begonias

Showy potted plants

Begonias are flowering plants prized for their colorful blooms and distinctive asymmetrical leaves, popular in gardens and as houseplants.

Native to tropical and subtropical regions, they thrive in shade and are valued for brightening spots where other flowering plants struggle.

The genus includes thousands of species and cultivars, ranging from compact bedding plants to dramatic specimens with large, textured foliage.
