    Easy to propagate, just stick a stem in water or damp soil. Makes a great hanging hanging basket .

    This plant did very well for me in a part-sun location in my zone 6 yard. In nearly full shade, it did not thrive. When happy with its sun exposure, this plant thrives, grows large, and blooms heavily throughout a hot summer. It is relatively easy to grow from seed, even for this begonia-challenged gardener.

    This plant does not produce seeds, which probably accounts for its heavy, prolonged blooming.
