Tuberous begonias like the popular 'Non-Stop' series are a good option for shady areas and outdoor containers.

To thrive they require bright sunlight with some shade. They may not flower in areas of hot, direct sunlight or in areas of dense shade. Wax begonias can tolerate full sun but will burn quickly in hot weather.
