Continuous color makes Begonia Semperflorens Cultorum Group a reliable choice for shaded outdoor beds and patio containers. Waxy green, bronze, or red-toned leaves support white, pink, or red flowers from spring into fall. Compact plants stay about 6 to 12 inches tall and wide and form a tidy rounded edge.
Use partial shade or bright light shade away from harsh midday sun. Keep soil evenly moist but well drained and feed lightly during active growth. Remove spent flowers and damaged leaves, pinching tips only when fuller branching is needed. Roots and sap can irritate people and are toxic to pets and horses.
