| Botanical Name | Begonia x semperflorens-cultorum |
| Description | Begonias are a staple for Houston landscapes, providing constant color from spring through the first frost. They are particularly well-suited to our humid environment. However, they are highly susceptible to stem and root rot if kept too wet. While they enjoy moisture, they require porous, well-draining soil; if your garden has heavy clay, it is vital to incorporate compost or plant in raised beds to ensure proper drainage. |
| Exposure | Partial Shade to Full Shade (Bronze-leaf varieties tolerate more sun) |
| Height x Width | 6-12 in. Tall x 6-12 in. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Treated as an annual in Houston) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. |
| Pruning | Minimal; pinch back if plants become leggy to encourage a fuller, bushier habit. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
