Begonias (Begonia spp.)

Begonias are incredibly versatile, colourful, and easy-to-grow ornamental plants that come in a staggering diversity of types — from waxy-leaved bedding begonias to large-flowered tuberous types and magnificent rex begonias grown for their spectacular, elaborately patterned foliage. They thrive in partial shade to dappled light, making them outstanding for shaded beds, borders, containers, hanging baskets, and indoor spaces. They bloom prolifically in a wide range of colours including white, pink, red, orange, and yellow, providing season-long interest with minimal effort.
