Begonia

Bedding begonias are neat, compact plants that prefer dappled shade but will adapt to full sun. They require protection from frost and prefer moist, well-drained soil. They need regular watering in dry weather, especially if planted in a sunny position. Begonias will last a second season, and can be cut back after winter.
