Semperflorens type of begonia is probably the most widely grown begonia and in some parts of the country is called "wax type" because of the waxy look to the leaves.

Mostly grown as annuals. My friends in Wisconsin had a nice basket growing. During my visit Oct. 2010 and been the end of their season I could not see this plant totally wasted, I asked for a snip. I can’t wait to see the flowers come summer.
