wax begonia

An added benefit of wax begonias is that they can be transferred to pots before being touched by frost, and it will continue to grow and bloom indoors all winter.

The wax begonia is probably more versatile, in terms of its wide range of tolerance for shade and sun exposures, than any other bedding plant.

Cuttings from wax begonias, impatiens, coleus, marigolds, geraniums and salvias are some annuals that clone easily this way.

With ample water, wax begonias grow in neat mounds up to 10 inches tall and remain beautiful until frost.

Bedding or wax begonias, heliotrope, impatiens, and Madagascar periwinkle can be moved indoors and grown as house plants over the winter.

A simple and cheerful reminder of summer is a window sill full of wax begonias in shades of red, pink, and white.

Some plants like wax begonias, not the tuberous types that need a dried-off rest, will continue blooming freely after their move without skipping a beat.
