Begonias are a popular way to add vibrant colour and elegance to outdoor spaces, especially in hanging baskets and containers. Flowerbulbrus.com offers three types:
1) Hanging Begonias – Cascading plants with pendulous blooms that spill beautifully over edges. Available in red, white, and pink, they flower continuously from summer into autumn, with soft, waxy foliage adding texture.
2) Novelty Begonias – Unique varieties prized for striking foliage, bold patterns, and exotic colours. Ideal as decorative indoor plants, their leaves range from spirals to wing-shaped forms in shades of burgundy, silver, lime green, and pink.
3) Frimbriata Begonias – Tuberous begonias with large, ruffled, fringed flowers in vibrant reds, pinks, yellows, oranges, and white. Perfect for hanging baskets, containers, and shaded beds.
Begonias thrive in partial to full shade with well-drained, moist soil. They are low-maintenance but benefit from regular watering, weekly feeding (especially in baskets), and deadheading to encourage continuous blooms.
