Description

100% Guaranteed! Read our guarantee. Impressive glossy green leaves and a waterfall of coral-pink flowers grace this all-time favorite begonia. Showy in containers and at the garden's edge, and easy care, for the old blossoms fall away as new ones bloom. Lifecycle: Annual; tender perennial Zone: 10 Hardiness: Tender Annual Size: 1-1.5' h x 1-1.5' w Sun: Partial shade Soil: Rich, moist, well-drained Season: Summer to fall Color: Pink HOW TO GROW BEGONIA DRAGON WING® PINK WHEN TO SET OUTSIDE After frost, when nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F. PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION Begonia Dragon Wing Pink effortlessly lights up shady areas with lush leaves and masses of flowers, lovely as a summer container plant or edging beds. However, it must have good drainage to thrive. If transplanting fibrous begonias into pots, plant slightly deeper to encourage the growth of new roots and stems. Bring inside for the winter when nighttime temperatures drop below 50°F. Final Spacing: 1-1.5' Water Use: High Water Use Watering Details: Allow the soil to dry 1" down in small pots, 2" down from surface of larger pots before watering throughly. Avoid overwatering, which can cause root rots. Water early mornings if placed in sunnier areas to avoid leaf scorch. Soil pH: Acidic to neutral (6.0-7.0) Fertilizer: Top dress in spring with a slow-release organic all-purpose fertilizer and again in midsummer. Diseases & Pests: Slugs may be interested in eating begonias—if they show up, sprinkle some iron phosphate slug bait pellets on the soil around the plant. Diatomaceous earth can also be used.
