#ProPlantTips for Care:
Fibrous Begonia are tender plants and do best in a full shade location in warmer climates and tolerate partial shade in cooler growing zones. Provide regular, consistent moisture and well-drained organic soil. Use an all-purpose fertilizer for annuals monthly during the warmer season to support those large flowers. After blooming, deadhead the withered flower at the top of the stem and allow the leaves to turn brown before removing them. The green leaves will provide nourishment for the plant for the remainder of the growing season.
- Partial Shade to Full Shade
- Organically Rich Soil
- Regular Consistent Moisture
- Regular Fertilizer & Deadheading
- Annual Accent or Houseplant
It's rare to find a plant that has foliage that outshines the blooms, but the fibrous Bronze Leaf Begonia just might be one of those plants! Order your summer annuals and garden accents today at NatureHills.com!
