Notes
'Picotee Lace Pink' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Picotee Lace 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, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It forms a clumping mound and blooms from early to late summer and from early to late autumn.
Pairs well with Variegatum spider plant, Lilyturf, Southern shield fern, and Let's Dance Blue Jangles bigleaf hydrangea.
