Does Begonia Need Full Sun

Most begonias grow best in part shade (4 to 6 hours of direct morning sun a day), or filtered sun (as through trees). Most will tolerate full shade (no direct or filtered sun), but won’t be as dense and usually have fewer flowers. A few grow in full sun. They prefer moist, but not soggy, soils.

Do begonias grow well in shade?

They do best in situations with shade or morning sun/afternoon shade. Most varieties have flowers that hang down a little, making tuberous begonias ideal for hanging baskets and window boxes rather than garden beds and borders. No matter where you grow them, make sure they have good drainage to prevent rot.

How much sun and water do begonias need?

Begonias are easy-care plants that thrive in sun or shade, with moderate watering and fertilizer needs. Begonias have been growing in popularity over the years. They are often grown as houseplants (grown year-round as a perennial) or outside in containers or flower beds (grown for one growing season as an annual).
