  1. Nice to see you! Those white begonias look much larger than common bedding begonias--what variety are they? I've seen larger pink bedding varieties for sale, but not white.

  2. Hi Beverly -

    good question - well, these are the typical 'wax begonia'...which does grow to about 18" if left untrimmed...It is not part of the 'Cocktail' series like 'Vodka' which are dwarf hybrids.

    I know wax begonias are looked down upon as common..but boy, is it a performer! There is a reason this plant has been popular since the Victorian era.

    Relatively pest free, it is easy to grow, tolerates light shade and is a great way to bring continuous color to the summer garden.

  3. Hi Jan,
    Another great video! I'm a lifelong urban dweller in the process of buying a house on the Delaware River (an area also known for its gangs of roving deer). I can't wait to begin planning and planting my garden. It's all I think about lately. Your blog and the 2 videos have been really inspiring and helpful!
    Thank you!
    Kara
