Begonia
Begonias are warm-climate plants from a huge genus, most of which are valued for their ability to provide long-lasting color in shady or low-light situations. Some throw large, lush flowers in extravagant colors (see our Blackmore & Landon strains), others make their statement with beautifully marked foliage that has the beauty of flowers but lasts longer (such as Rex Begonias), and the best recent introductions offer compelling fragrance as well. Each summer our head gardener curates a colorful display of Begonia flowers at our store and gardens in Connecticut.
All Begonias want good drainage, moderate temperatures, and protection from direct sun.
