About

Begonia aconitifolia 'Variegata' is a cultivated selection derived from the Brazilian cane begonia Begonia aconitifolia A.DC., selected and maintained in cultivation for its striking irregular variegation. The base species is a tall, bamboo-stemmed cane begonia from Brazil with deeply palmately lobed leaves; the 'Variegata' form overlays this architecture with an irregular marbling from cream through to pale yellow against the base green, with each leaf and each flush of new growth showing distinct variation in pattern and intensity. The upright bamboo-like segmented stems remain a structural feature, and the deeply lobed, serrated leaf margin adds further textural interest. A plant in full growth with newly emerging, more brightly variegated foliage alongside older settled leaves is a genuinely attractive specimen.

How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
