BEGONIA
Begonias are tender perennials, grown for their colorful flowers and foliage. Most begonias can be grown

Where not hardy, grow as annuals or indoors as houseplants. Most begonias can be propagated from leaf,
stem or rhizome cuttings in addition to being sown from seed. Long blooming red, yellow, scarlet, orange
and pink flowers on showy begonia. Use in containers for portable color. Fertilize monthly with water
soluable fertilizer. Soil should be kept moist, but not wet, especially during the growing season. Prune
