Do Begonias Bloom All Summer. With proper planning you can time your perennial blooms to provide color from early spring through late fall. The wax begonias of grandmother's day have been redesigned to become one of the most popular summer border flowers to grow in full.
The leaves of this begonia are shaped like a lopsided heart and are green.
Here is a wide selection of beautiful summer plants which bloom profusely throughout the season without much pampering from you.
If you continually stop that process, the plant will keep sending up blooms! If you want something in the perennial family - consider Begonias (Burpee sells some great varieties) - they do well in shade and bloom most of the season. Like all double flowers, individual blooms last longer than those of single varieties though they are less.
