Begonia


Question
What type of begonia likes full sun? What fertilzer do yall recommend for this begonia? 8b.

Answer
There are no begonias that like full sun, although the wax begonias (Wings Hybrid) do the best of all the varieties.

I have found that most wax leaved and red leaved begonias do well in either condition. Many malls and businesses use them in full sun as part of their landscaping.

As with all annuals, use a fertilizer high in phosphorus to promote blooming. Avoid fertilizers high in nitrogen as these tend to result in lush foliage but fewer blooms.

Good luck.

Mike
