Notes
'Nonstop Rose Petticoat' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Nonstop Rose Petticoat') 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms in yellow, orange, pink, red, and white from spring through autumn.
