Meet the Begonia maculata 'Wightii' (Polka Dot Begonia)

The Begonia maculata ‘Wightii’ originates from the Atlantic rainforests of southeast Brazil, where it grows in warm, humid conditions beneath the forest canopy. First introduced to Europe in the 19th century, it quickly became a favourite among Victorian plant collectors thanks to its dramatic spotted foliage and elegant form.
