Annual??? #begoniasaurusrex

Gorgeous colours and so healthy. 💗💚🤍

@emch It’s on my annual list because it’s frost tender. I keep it on my back porch then move it to my garage when the temperatures dip to mid-30s (Zone 8). It’s survived two winters that way.

@hkyfvr Thanks! I’m intrigued by how its colors vary depending on if it’s on my back porch or in a shaded garden bed.

@emch - Yes, annuals in the horticultural world as they can't tolerate freezing temps. They become houseplants which are really, neither perennials or annuals! 🪴

Very welcome. In my zone 5a this is an indoor plant year round. I used to put mine outside in the summer when it was not too hot. 😄

@KariSamuel in my neck of the woods they call those houseplants or tropical plants...
