Notes
'Nonstop Orange' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Nonstop Orange') 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 pass it by. It forms a tidy clump about 12 inches tall and blooms in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Cape primrose, Blue star fern, and White bigleaf hydrangea.
