Notes
'Hanging Basket Salmon' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Hanging Basket Salmon') is a perennial for containers, borders, and shade gardens. 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It forms a clump and blooms in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Blue star fern, Green and gold, Mondo grass, and Endless Summer hydrangea.
