Also known as: Clubed Begonia

Begonia cucullata, commonly known as Clubed Begonia, is a perennial species native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, particularly found in areas with high humidity and moderate temperatures. This species typically grows to a height of 30 to 60 cm, exhibiting a bushy growth habit with fleshy stems that support its broad, ovate leaves. The leaves are glossy and dark green, often featuring a slightly wavy margin, which adds to the plant’s ornamental appeal. The flowers, which bloom in clusters, are small and usually pink or white, emerging from the leaf axils and providing a striking contrast against the foliage. The fruit is a capsule that contains small, winged seeds, allowing for wind dispersal in its native habitat.
