Notes

'Lime Royale' begonia (Begonia 'Lime Royale') 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 part sun to full shade and dry to moist soil. It stays low at 6 to 12 inches tall and spreads 12 to 18 inches. Pink blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.

Pairs well with Wild ginger, Southern shield fern, and Japanese aralia.
