Shade to partial sun, temp. 45 to 95 degrees, 6 to 8 in. tall, trailing to 2 to 3 ft. allow getting slightly dry between watering.
Family: Begoniaceae
This plant is shipped in a 3.5 - 4 inch pot.

This beauty has flourished wherever I put her. She was able to stay outside on my porch from late summer and now, she’s doing great in one of our windows.
This begonia is a gift that keeps on giving.
Every plant I’ve ordered from Steve’s has been great and this one was no exception. At first it did struggle probably because I didn’t know what I was doing but I moved it out to the front patio and it has done marvelously out there. Blooms in the spring and sporadically through the summer and even fall. Great in a hanging basket or as the spiller in a mixed container!
