Description

Heat-tolerant Begonias (Begonia spp.) dazzle with lush, waxy foliage in green, bronze or burgundy shades, topped by clusters of pink, red or white blooms. Perfect for Florida’s shady spots, these begonias prefer morning sun or dappled shade and rich, moist soil. Keep evenly watered but avoid waterlogged roots by ensuring good drainage. Remove spent flowers to prolong bloom time. Showcase begonias in containers on shaded patios or use as focal points in mixed borders, contrasting their bold leaves with softer textures like hostas or ferns.
