Notes
'Hanging Basket White' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Hanging Basket White') 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. It forms a clump about 12 inches tall that spreads 12 to 24 inches, and it blooms in spring, summer, and autumn. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with White bigleaf hydrangea, Blue star fern, Mondo grass, and False shamrock.
