Begonias

Six different plants share the name begonia, and they want different things. A wax begonia will sit happily in full sun; a tuberous begonia in the same spot will scorch by July. Pick the type first, then the color.

Light: Sun or part shade
Height: 6–24″
Spread: 6–24″
Habit: Trails and mounds
Containers: Good in pots
Edible: Tuberous and wax begonia petals tangy and lemony · a few at a time; skip if you have gout or kidney stones · edible flowers
Pets: Toxic to cats and dogs roots and tubers most of all · ASPCA
