Description
The Ice Begonia is a reliable groundcover for semi‑shaded beds, boxes, and pots. From May until the first frost it continuously produces small, delicate, bright flowers in white, pink, and red on glossy green or bronze‑red, fleshy foliage. It blooms reliably even where many summer flowers fail— in light shade— and requires little care.
Care instructions
Plant after the mid‑May frost in loose, humus‑rich soil in semi‑shade or light shade; it tolerates full afternoon sun only with good watering. Water evenly at the soil surface, avoiding wetting the leaves, and prevent waterlogging. Withered flowers drop off on their own; pruning is rarely needed. It is frost‑sensitive; its season ends before the first autumn frost.
