The begonia is a much-loved perennial to have in a backyard. Not only is it relatively low maintenance, but its beautiful blooms come in a variety of colors which work wonders at brightening up a space. While they make quite the spectacle when planted on their own, there are certain other flowers and shrubs that make excellent companion plants for your begonias and, not only will they look great together, but they'll also help your begonia flowers to thrive.
When it comes to styling a modern garden, gardeners all agree that it's best to choose plants that thrive in similar conditions. This idea, also known as companion planting, isn't just about making it easier to offer your plants everything they need, but carefully selecting plants that mutually benefit each other. Here are ten pairings that you can try in your own backyard to benefit your begonia blooms. Just remember that begonias aren't frost-tolerant, so if your area is prone to harsh winters it’s best to bring these pairings indoors if they're in containers!
