Notes
'Roseform White' begonia (Begonia tuberhybrida 'Roseform White') is a perennial 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 blooms from early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The clumping plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall and 12 inches wide.
