Begonia x tuberhybrida --Tuberous begonia are suppose to be edible. Do you know of a good one for full sun that will work ? Will I need to keep it in a pot or can I plant it in the ground?
Thank you.
Tuberous begonia
Tuberous begonias don't really want full sun. They prefer dappled light and cooler temps. Depending on your preferences, you can either place them in a pot or in the ground. Tubers should be lifted when they go dormant.

Quoting:
Tuberous Begonia - NOTE: Only Hybrids are edible. The petals of the tuberous begonias are edible. Their bright colors and sour, fruity taste bring flavor and beauty to any summer salad. Begonia blossoms have a delicious citrusy sour taste and a juicy crunch. The petals are used as a garnish and in salads. Stems, also, can be used in place of rhubarb. The flowers and stems contain oxalic acid and should not be consumed by individuals suffering from gout, kidney stones, or rheumatism.
Thank you so much for the links. They contain a lot of information I found very helpful.
