Begonia Pedatifida

Begonia pedatifida is an extraordinary foliage plant prized for its distinctive, deeply divided leaves that resemble those of ferns or palmate maples. This rare species forms a low-growing clump of striking, medium to dark green leaves with serrated edges, offering an architectural appeal that sets it apart from other begonias. Its intricate foliage provides year-round interest, making it a stunning addition to shaded gardens, tropical displays, or indoor collections.

In late summer to early fall, Begonia pedatifida produces delicate, airy clusters of soft pink flowers, which emerge on thin, arching stems and provide a subtle contrast against its rich green foliage. Thriving in partial to full shade, this begonia prefers humus-rich, well-draining soil and consistent moisture, making it ideal for woodland gardens, shaded rockeries, and conservatory settings. It also adapts well to container culture, where its unique form can be displayed up close.
