Color is never an issue for begonia, but if you add height to the plant and plant a lot of them then what you get is a Whopper of a garden. Choose from different foliage and flower colors, but all will beautify your space until the first frost.

An awesome sight when planted in large masses or make terrific accents in mixed containers.

Interesting Notes about Begonia:

This hybrid is a blend of features to result in a begonia with large flowers on a much larger plant.  The flowers are in shades of pink or red and the waxy leaves come in bronze or green.  They prefer partial sun, and as long as there is adequate water will grow in full sun.  In full shade they may produce fewer flowers, but are still a power house of color.
