Begonias brighten up shady areas with their big, beautiful blooms. While most flowering plants require at least a half day of full sun, begonias actually prefer growing in the shade and will bloom continuously from summer to fall.
You can choose upright double begonias (for window boxes, flower pots and garden beds) or cascading varieties (for planters and hanging baskets). With so many options, begonias make it easy to dress up any shady porch, patio or deck.
