Better Homes & Gardens 3QT Red Begonia Live Annual Plant Arden Decorative Pot Partial Shade

The Q-3.00 BHG Arden PL-Begonia Red is a striking flowering plant valued for its rich red blooms and lush, full growth habit, making it a standout addition to both containers and landscape plantings. This begonia is typically grown as an annual, completing its life cycle within a single growing season in most regions, though it may behave as a perennial in warm climates. It thrives in partial shade to filtered sun, where it can receive bright light without harsh afternoon exposure. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid oversaturation, as begonias prefer well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. This plant is best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 10–11 as a perennial and is commonly enjoyed as an annual elsewhere. At maturity, it reaches approximately 12–18 inches tall and wide, forming a compact yet full display. Ideal for decorative containers, shaded garden beds, entryways, or patio planters, this begonia delivers bold color and dependable performance throughout the growing season.
