Begonia Masoniana (Rock Begonia / Iron Cross Begonia) is a highly distinctive foliage plant prized for its bold, textured leaves featuring a dramatic dark “iron cross” pattern at the center.

Its unique leaf markings and strong visual contrast make it one of the most recognisable begonias available.
This plant is ideal for collectors and indoor gardeners looking for something unusual and eye-catching. It thrives in warm, humid environments with filtered light, where its striking foliage can be fully appreciated year-round. Low-maintenance and compact, it is perfect for tabletops, plant displays, and shaded indoor corners where a bold foliage statement is desired.
