Container #11: Shady Standout

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

This beautiful container really stands out in a shady area! The ceramic ball coordinates so well with the foliage.

RECIPE:
• (1) Begonia “Dragon Wing Pink”
• (2) Plectranthus “Troy’s Gold”

TIPS:
• This container requires filtered light or full shade.
• The Dragon Wing Begonia is susceptible to wind, so it is best placed in a sheltered area.
• I pinch back the leaves of the Plectranthus plant when it is first planted to encourage fullness.
