The Polka Dot Begonia is a beautiful foliage plant with two-toned leaves and distinctive white polka dots. A highly desired plant, thanks to its unique appearance.

Maculatas have long crinkle-cut leaves which finish with a point. Their foliage is coloured deep green on top, with a deep reddish-pink overleaf. The Polka Dot variety has a series of perfect white spots on the top.

But there's another reason this plant is special. According to rumour, this Begonia inspired shoe designer Christian Louboutin to create his signature red-soled stilettos! You're not just getting a unique plant, you may also be taking home a slice of history and fashion!

Larger leaves are also excellent dust trappers, keeping toxins away from your lungs!
