Begonia

A popular choice with abundant, large flowers. Blooms early and continuously. In warm regions, treat as a perennial, lifting and dividing in early spring. Where not hardy, treat as an annual for seasonal color. Well-suited for garden's edge, along walkways and in combination pots or window boxes. Prefers moist, well-drained soil.
