Bedding begonias are prized as much for their foliage as for the flowers.
| Begonia
(Begonia semperflorens)ANNUAL • SUN TO SHADE - Height: 8 inches
- Spacing: 9 inches
These neat, mounded plants are perfect in strawberry jars, window boxes, and containers as well as flower beds. The dark-leafed variety is especially sun tolerant and needs plenty of light to develop the pretty leaf color. Our green-leaf variety is for shade. Expect free-flowering masses of color from each. Begonias need rich soil that should dry slightly between deep waterings. Those in sun will need more water. Space plants 9 inches apart. |
