Begonia sits outside the Araceae family that makes up most of this site, but its collector base overlaps heavily with aroid growers: the draw is leaf pattern and texture rather than flower. Collector interest concentrates on the bullate, iron-cross-marked species like B. masoniana and the angel-wing B. maculata line and its named colour cultivars.

This list ranks every Begonia in our database by Verified typical UK price, from UK eBay sales, with a full species profile linked for each entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Begonia related to Anthurium or Philodendron?

No. Begonia belongs to the family Begoniaceae, unrelated to the Araceae aroids that make up most of this site. It's included here for its overlapping collector base in patterned foliage, not botanical kinship.

Why are some Begonia varieties so expensive?

Bullate, textured-leaf species and chimeric variegated forms (Albo Variegata lines, pink-sectored maculata cultivars) are slow to propagate: variegated tissue exists only in part of the plant, so cuttings have to be taken from a specific node to preserve the pattern, keeping supply of true-to-type stock limited.
