Notes
'Hanging Basket Pink' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Hanging Basket Pink') is a perennial for containers, shade gardens, and borders. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It forms a clumping mound about 12 inches tall and spreads 12 to 24 inches.
