Notes
'Nonstop Fire' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Nonstop Fire') 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, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It forms a tidy clump about 12 inches tall and blooms in yellow, orange, pink, red, or white.
