Tuberous Begonias Thrive in Shade.

Tuberous Begonias (Begonia selections) offer full, double flowers that are available in many colors, including an attractive shade of red. These blooms thrive in shade and require well-drained soil. They are prone to rot, so take care not to overwater them. Tuberous Begonias are typically hardy in Zones 9 – 11, but in colder locations, the tubers can be dug up and saved in a frost-free location, then planted again after the winter has passed.
