Notes
'Picotee White-Pink' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Picotee White-Pink') is a tuberous plant for borders, containers, and shade gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°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 forms a clumping mound that reaches 12 to 24 inches tall. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Blooms appear in summer and again in autumn.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Blue star fern, and Little brown jug.
