    Rosy coral 4 petaled blossoms cascade from arching stems all summer, making it a great choice for shady planters and window boxes. It does prefer drier soil, so combine with other plants that can take dry conditions. A tuberous Begonia, it goes dormant in winter and is revived when warmth and longer days return.
