Notes

'Green Gold' begonia (Begonia 'Green Gold') 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Pale pink flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn.

Pairs well with Polka dot plant, Holly fern, and Lilyturf.
