Begonias Are Liking the Shade

Started these begonia plants inside. A few years ago I transplanted them into the outside garden. They are suppose to do well with a lot of shade and filtered sunlight. And they are doing well so far. Love seeing these small red blooms each year. They are annual, but mine returned on their own this year with little maintenance. A little fertilizer each year and that is all they need. Enjoyed being outside most of the day today. Saw a few surprises I will share another day. Photo is mine.

@CarolDM Good thought, but I would worry about the petals falling on my furniture. I’m not a doily user.

they are stunning! starting them inside, would mean we would never grow them. sadly all things that come into our house pass to the next world.

Thanks and they don’t have to be started inside. But they are a common houseplant.

@DocAndersen SOUnds like a good plan. You can get different colors. I have seen many do the pink, red and white together and it is gorgeous.

Oh now you tell me begonias need shade not sunlight, lol. I made the mistake of locating them in a too sunny spot and they have struggled there. Should of swapped spots where I put the geraniums
