GET TO KNOW: BEGONIAS

Bigger, Badder Begonias

Begonias are a popular standard in the landscaping industry and for good reason: they perform well in sun or shade; they don’t need much water, pruning or fertilizer to look beautiful throughout the season; they offer a variety of sizes, shapes and colors; and they tolerate a range of temperatures with little to no disease issues. The begonia is, quite possibly, the perfect landscaping plant! It looks phenomenal in borders, mass plantings, showpiece containers and magnificent hanging baskets — the possibilities are nearly endless!
