Will take some sun on coast but best performance on light shade when watered regularly and flowers tint pink if grown in sun. Hardy to 25-30 degrees F. A very nich long blooming plant for the shade garden.

We originally received this plant as Begonia 'White Richmondensis' to which it superficially resembles. It has a more cascading in structure than the red-flowering Begonia 'Richmondensis but it has white flowers and smaller leaves without the red tones. A very nice container or hanging basket plant. Listed in Begonias: The Complete Reference Guide (Thompson & Thompson) as a small bare leafed everblooming shrub type. 

This information about Begonia acutifolia displayed on this web page is based on research we have conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations we have made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how our crops have performed in containers in the nursery field. Where appropriate, we will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant.
