Begonia Rex (Begonia)
Color Name: Cherry Mint
Bursting with personality, this exquisite begonia will add a touch of class to your outdoor space. Shadow King Cherry Mint Begonia's attractive serrated heart-shaped leaves remain rose in color with distinctive grayish green edges and tinges of black throughout the season. Suitable as a houseplant, they also shine as a container accent or bedding plant in shady locations. Preferring full shade, they will also tolerate some indirect sun which serves to deepen the red and purple tones. Thrives in summer heat.
Growing Tips: Begonias are delightfully easy to care for! They are durable and will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. Begonias are self-cleaning, meaning the old blooms make way for new ones. They continue to bloom all summer without you having to pinch off old flowers. Begonias like to be on the dryer side so be careful not to overwater. They are light feeders so be careful not to over fertilize. Begonias spread cheer and happiness wherever they are planted because they're so easy to care for!
