Begonia 'Manaus'

Product Info

Begonia 'Manaus' is a striking foliage Begonia for plant lovers who appreciate unusual color, texture, and personality. Its richly patterned leaves bring a tropical, almost painted quality to a collection, making it especially beautiful displayed where its foliage can be appreciated up close.

With its compact growth and decorative leaves, Begonia 'Manaus' works beautifully on shelves, plant stands, desks, and other smaller spaces. It's a great choice for collectors who want something more distinctive than a traditional green houseplant.

Begonias are found throughout tropical and subtropical regions around the world, with many species originating in Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Their incredible diversity is one reason Begonias have become such a popular group among foliage collectors.

A Little-Known Fact

There are more than 2,000 recognized Begonia species, and new hybrids and cultivars continue to expand the group. Begonias can look remarkably different from one another, ranging from tiny terrarium plants to large, dramatic foliage specimens.

Begonia 'Manaus' is particularly appealing to collectors because Begonias can develop dramatically different leaf patterns depending on genetics and growing conditions. Bright, filtered light helps bring out the strongest coloration while protecting the delicate foliage from harsh direct sun.
