Spectrum Ann Begonia

Begonia Spectrum Ann plants, `Begonia x hybrida,' are wonderfully flowering plants that grow well in the garden as well as patio containers. This variety is a cross between the winter flowering and tuberous summer flowering varieties of Begonia. Spectrum Ann Begonias are distinguished by their large, flowers that are double and a light salmon pink in color. More that a half day of sunlight will cause the plants to dry out, as too much shade will cause the plants to become soft and less showy in bloom.

Silver Brocade

The Artemisia Silver Brocade, `Artemisia stelleriana,' is a compact, silver-white perennial plant with a height of fifteen inches and a spread of over two feet. This wooly plant produces yellow flowers in early summer that are not very showy. This plant prefers sandy soil but does need a well drained location with full sunlight and a small amount of afternoon shade. This plant can be paired with Echinacea Purple Coneflower or Rudbeckia Black Eyed Susan to add interest to any garden or accent fresh or dried flower arrangements.

Red Pendula Begonia

The Begonia Pendula Red, `Begonia Pendula Red,' displays multitudes of beautiful red flowers. This spring planted tuber has much smaller flowers than upright begonias, and also requires more water. Sometimes called basket begonias, Pendula makes up in numbers what the flowers lack in size. Light fertilization applied weekly will assist in maintaining healthy, vibrant blooms. Daily watering should be applied in warm weather, as they should never be allowed to dry out.
