With its elegant white flowers and bright green foliage, the Surefire® White Begonia is a great annual plant for any garden. Growing to around 2 feet tall, this begonia is ideal for many planting situations and is easy to care for. It develops bright white blooms with yellow centers from midsummer until the first frost, even without deadheading. Being tolerant of both sun and shade, this Surefire® White Begonia is a must for any landscape.

As a drought- and heat-tolerant plant, this begonia needs little ongoing care. It develops an upright, mounding habit and is perfectly suited for either a border, container or even a hanging basket. However, it often looks most impressive when used as a thriller in a planter. With its long-blooming season, this annual certainly provides great value.

Surefire® White Begonia Care

As a versatile plant, this begonia can be grown in either sun or shade.  Even though the Surefire® White Begonia can cope with neglect, it grows best when fed and watered regularly throughout the growing season. Ideally, the soil should be kept moist but not overly wet, which can lead to root rot, especially in shaded locations. Applying a balanced fertilizer, especially to any container-grown plants will encourage more blooms and replace any lost nutrients over the season.  

Although commonly grown as an annual, this begonia can be lifted or moved in the fall to overwinter indoors on a bright window sill. Although pruning is not necessary, you can prune to shape and pinch out young growth to encourage a bushier habit. 

Surefire® White Begonia Spacing

Depending on its location, the Surefire® White Begonia can grow up to 24 inches high and wide. When grown as a group, a spacing of 12 to 18 inches between plants is advisable. However, if planted individually in a container, a pot diameter of 10-12 inches is recommended to support its growth.
