Notes

'Curly Fireflush' begonia (Begonia 'Curly Fireflush') is a perennial for borders, containers, and shade gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to moist soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It bears fragrant white flowers in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn.

Pairs well with Lilyturf, Holly fern, and Marble Queen pothos.
