looking for some flower advice

3. Begonias

There are many different kinds, large and small. Some types seem to work well in hanging planters.
I've only planted the kind with small white or red flowers but they have always done very well despite hot dry Maryland summers. The deer and squirrels don't bother them, but I can't say whether this is true for the large flowered kinds.
