Notes
'San Francisco' begonia (Begonia boliviensis 'San Francisco') is an annual for containers and low maintenance gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide, so it fills a pot well. Blooms appear in spring, summer, and autumn, and it tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Angel wings, Sedge, and Kimberly queen fern.
