Begonia semperflorens

Also known as Wax Begonia, Clubbed Begonia, Perpetual Begonia, Bedding Begonia

Wax begonias form compact mounds of thick, shiny leaves paired with delicate clusters of four-petaled flowers in shades of white, pink, and red. Native to South American grasslands and riverbanks, these resilient plants produce blooms continuously from spring until the first winter freeze. Thick, succulent stems hold moisture efficiently, enabling them to endure brief periods of dry soil in sunny garden borders.
