Begonia - Sinbad The Begonia Sinbad, Proven Selection, 'Begonia x hybrid', is a beautiful antique variety that is just the thing for part sun conditions. The pretty pink flowers bloom all summer atop attractive green foliage overlaid with silver. Begonias prefer dryer shade conditions and are perfect under an overhang or porch roof. It's an excellent companion with other annuals in containers and hanging baskets. These plants perform best when soil temperatures are above 60°F and when planted in flowerbeds. They should not be subjected to more than ½ day of sun as they will not tolerate a full sun setting. Too much shade however, may cause the plants to become soft and less prolific in bloom. For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial. |
