Notes
'RoseForm Peach' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'RoseForm Peach') is a tuberous begonia 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 clump 12 to 24 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Blooms appear in summer and again in autumn. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Blue star fern, Evergold sedge, and Endless Summer hydrangea.
