Sinbad begonia

Garden uses

Notes

'Sinbad' begonia (Begonia 'Sinbad') is a perennial for borders, containers, shade gardens, and foundation plantings. 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 soil. It bears pink blooms from early to late summer and again from early to late autumn. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Plants reach 24 to 36 inches tall and wide.

Pairs well with Southern shield fern, Japanese aralia, and Polka dot plant.
