Begonia hybrid (Begonia)
Color Name: Dragon Wing® Red
Noted for its tolerance to hot and humid weather, Begonia Dragon Wing Red is famed for its lush and attractive, angel-wing shaped, shiny dark green foliage and its cascades of dangling clusters of red flowers. Even when temperatures blaze, Dragon Wing keeps on pumping out the color in the landscape or containers all season. Incredibly vigorous, this favorite among the shade loving plants will successfully add bright notes of summer color to your beds, borders, window boxes and containers. Excellent edging plant too!
Growing Tips: Begonias are delightfully easy to care for! They are durable and will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. Begonias are self-cleaning, meaning the old blooms make way for new ones. They continue to bloom all summer without you having to pinch off old flowers. Begonias like to be on the dryer side so be careful not to overwater. They are light feeders so be careful not to over fertilize. Begonias spread cheer and happiness wherever they are planted because they're so easy to care for!
