Angel Wing Begonias: Varieties and Sun Tolerance

A gardener asked if Angel wing begonias are a larger variety and if they can grow in full sun.

Types and Light Requirements

Tom explained "Angel wing" refers to several begonia types. He linked to Google Images for visual reference. The houseplant type (with brownish leaves) prefers diffused light indoors. The bright green-leafed variety grows well outdoors in pots and raised beds, tolerating full sun if given afternoon shade in hot climates and kept well-watered (check pots daily in summer).

Match the begonia type to its preferred light conditions for best results.
