Surefire White Begonia

Surefire® White is a vigorous bedding begonia with clear white flowers above bright green foliage. Its flexible light range suits sunny beds as well as shaded borders, while its open, upright growth brings lasting seasonal color to landscapes and containers. [Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/begonia/surefire-white-begonia-benariensis) lists the plant as Begonia benariensis ‘White’ and describes flowers that continue from planting until frost. ### Flowering and placement The single white blooms contrast with glossy green leaves and continue through the warm season. The brand gives a typical mature height of 12–24 inches and spread of 18–24 inches; the catalog’s existing measurements fit those ranges. It is treated as an annual in most regions and can persist outdoors only in the warmest listed USDA zones, 10–11. Plant in full sun or shade, adjusting exposure to local heat and moisture. A bright, partly shaded spot can reduce stress in hot climates while preserving good flowering. Use fertile, well-drained soil and give plants room for airflow. In containers, choose a pot with drainage holes and a moisture-retentive but freely draining mix. ## Maintenance This selection does not need deadheading to continue flowering. Water consistently during dry weather, particularly in pots, and avoid waterlogged soil. Remove damaged leaves or stems to keep the planting tidy. Before frost, bring container plants into a bright, protected space if you want to keep them; otherwise, replace them the following season.
