Put them in a mass of ferns or ivies, and their colors will stand out in bright contrast. In colder climates it is an annual plant, expected to live for about one year and die off after its sprout. In tropical climates, it is a perennial that lives a long time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- pf-why-love --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-why-love\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:1.25rem 0 0.5rem;font-size:1.15rem\"\u003eWhy choose Begonia 'Miss Milly'\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEye-catching dramatic leaf color, pattern, and texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA characterful, rewarding houseplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApproachable, houseplant-friendly care\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooks best: a bright spot with indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/pf-why-love --\u003e\n\u003c!-- pf-receive --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-receive\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:1.25rem 0 0.5rem;font-size:1.15rem\"\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOne live Begonia 'Miss Milly', rooted in soil in a 4\" nursery pot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNursery pot and soil included; a decorative planter only if you select one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLive plants vary in height, fullness and leaf count within the pot size you choose; we do not publish measured shipping heights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/pf-receive --\u003e\n\u003c!-- pf-snapshot --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-snapshot\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:1.25rem 0 0.5rem;font-size:1.15rem\"\u003eWill it suit your home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eBegonia 'Miss Milly'\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect; tolerates medium; no harsh direct sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate — a little particular but rewarding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dramatic leaf color, pattern, and texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grows into a fuller plant over time — mature size can vary by growing conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not pet-safe — toxic to cats and dogs if eaten.
