Description: Wax begonias are a very popular member of the Begoniaceae (begonia) family, often used as an annual bedding plant or as a tender, herbaceous perennial grown in containers and brought indoors for the winter. Wax begonias are of the Semperflorens-Cultorum hybrid group and are derived from a closely related group of South American species that have shown some cold hardiness in USDA zones 8-10.
