Begonia Semperflorens

Grown as annuals, perennials and bulbs, Begonias are valued for their bright, colorful, waxy flowers. Annual varieties -- Wax, Fibrous or Bedding Begonias -- are low-growing and bloom continually. Covered with small white, red, or pink flowers with green or bronzy red foliage, use as edging in masses, window boxes and containers. Wax Begonias can take full sun, but do best in partial shade in hot summer areas. Bring indoors in the Autumn as a house plant.
