Jackson & Perkins Begonia

No, 'Golden Balcony' begonias thrive best in partial shade. Direct, intense afternoon sun can scorch their delicate foliage and blooms, so choose a spot that offers filtered light or morning sun only.

Yes, their cascading growth habit makes them an excellent choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, or elevated containers where the stems can gracefully drape over the edges.

These begonias are considered deer resistant, meaning they are generally less appealing to deer than other garden plants. However, no plant is completely deer-proof if food sources are scarce.

Yes, regular deadheading—removing the spent or faded flowers—is the best way to encourage the plant to direct its energy into producing new, continuous blooms from early summer through late fall.

While they are typically grown as annuals, they can be treated as tender perennials in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10. In cooler climates, you will need to treat them as annuals or lift and store the tubers indoors over winter.

Plant the tubers 1 to 2 inches deep in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Ensure the concave (hollow) side of the tuber is facing upward when planting.
