Wax Begonia can be started from seeds, and this compact and bushy plant features tightly dense foliage with waxy dark green leaves. Red Wax Begonia produces clusters of single or double red flowers and blooms throughout the growing season from spring until first frost. The heavy blooms attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Wax Begonia can be grown as perennial plant In tropical or subtropical climates where the plant can form a small shrub. 

Begonia Wax Red is a great plant for mass planting or edging. Wax Red Begonia is also a very popular flower for containers and window boxes. Begonia Semperflorens seeds have to be only slightly pressed into the soil surface, and despite that Wax Begonia can grow in full sun, the plant prefers sun dappled partial shade and moist but well-drained soil.
