(Ambassador White Begonia, Fibrous Begonia, Wax Begonia)
Popular bedding plants, ambassador white wax begonias are tender perennials of hybrid origin. These plants are evergreen in tropical to sub-tropical zones but grown as annuals in temperate zones. Ambassador white wax begonias bloom continuously in summer displaying pure white blooms on light green foliage. They prefer well drained soil in full sun to partial shade. As reliable bloomers they are often used as annuals in containers, hanging baskets and mass plantings.

(Andrea Prado Rex Begonia, Rex Begonia)
This group, one of many in the begonia family, is prized for its astounding leaves, which amply earn the designation “Rex” (King). The leaves vary wildly in shape from whorled or curled like a snail to broad and much-divided. They vary even more wildly in color and patterning. These begonias produce sparse sprays of small pink or white flowers but the leaves upstage and conceal the blooms.
Modern Rex begonias are complex hybrids that derive from crosses between the Southeast Asian native Begonia...

(Bada Bing Rose Bicolor Begonia, Fibrous Begonia, Wax Begonia)

(Barkos Begonia, Hiemalis Begonia)
Popular and everblooming, hiemalis begonias are shade-loving tender perennials that make superb bedding and container plants. These hybrids have arisen from several South American species, such as the winter-blooming Begonia socotrana and the beautifully flowered species that comprise tuberous begonias. So, they bloom prolifically in winter and their flowers are doubled like tuberous begonias but smaller. These may be white, yellow, red, orange or pink, depending on the cultivar. Their glossy, succulent...
