Notes
'Nonstop Pink' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Nonstop Pink') is a perennial for containers, borders, 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. It blooms from spring through autumn. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It forms a clump about 12 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide.
Pairs well with Blue star fern, Southern shield fern, and White bigleaf hydrangea.
