Begonia
Begonia (Begonia spp.) is a versatile warm-season annual valued for its vibrant flowers and attractive foliage. Commonly grown in North Florida and South Georgia landscapes, begonias provide reliable color in shades of red, pink, white, and orange from spring through fall. Depending on the variety, they may feature glossy green or bronze foliage and perform well in containers, borders, and shaded garden beds, offering continuous blooms with minimal maintenance.
Care Needs:
• Light: Partial sun to full shade (some varieties tolerate full sun)
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained; avoid soggy conditions
• Pruning: Remove spent blooms and damaged foliage to encourage continuous flowering
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting and supplement lightly during the growing season
