Begonias

Begonias have cheerful flowers and distinct foliage, making them popular plants among Florida gardeners. There are several types of begonias, including tuberous begonias and fibrous-rooted begonias (e.g., "angel wing," "hairy stemmed," and "wax"). Some work well in the landscape while others make great potted plants.
