Description: Begonias flower throughout the summer up to the first frost. Few other annuals can beat begonias for hardiness and continuous flowering throughout the summer. These begonias are not restricted to a partial shade; they can be grown in full sun as well. Begonias with bronze foliage and Scarlanda (a green-leaf variety) perform better in the sunnier locations while the other green-leafed varieties should be planted in the shade. Begonias prefer moist, well-drained, fertile soil.

How To Grow: Plant in full shade to part sun.
Outstanding Features: Begonias look best when used in mass plantings or as a border.
