Basket Case Begonia is a petite perennial with a mounding habit and trailing stems sporting deep bronze foliage.  The loose clusters of small pink flowers bloom in mid summer into fall.  Flowers best in bright indirect sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.  Basket Case is powdery mildew resistant.

PLANT NERD TIPS: If you notice light or bleached flowers, it's a sign of sun damage.  move your plant to a place with less direct light. However if the flower stems look leggy or reaching then it needs more direct light. 

Browning is a sign of overwatering.  When watering water at the soil and avoid the leaves to prevent the growth or spread of powdery mildew.
